Addition of charge during appeal stage
14-Feb-2025 (In Criminal Law)
My brother convicted in 354 and posco 7/8 for 4 years by session court .there was no allegations of rape in 161 statement not in 164 statement not in prosecution witness time but suddenly after conviction victim saying rape was also done in appeal .is there possibility of adding rape charge .no allegations of rape in first nor in 164 statement not in entire proceedings of trial.
yes there is possibility in appeal u/s 216 of crpc because the appeal must have been filed against the judgememt of the conviction and whole arguement will be done on the passed judgement if appellate court sees there is need of addition or substraction of charge/charges, court can do it. For mote details whatsapp or call us.
Regarding rape in at the stage of criminal appeal will not come up, certainly because the same was not before the trial court at the stage of trial. However, criminal action may be initiated by the informant, and the IO will look into the allegations and the material evidence on record to get a Brahma face view of the matter. In case you need any help, I can assist you, please contact me. Thank you.
