Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973–Sec. 173–Filing of charge-sheet in the language unknown to the accused–Effect–There is a specific provision incorporated requiring the Court to mandatorily use the language of the Court in the proceedings–However, there is no such requirement laid down in respect of the report/charge sheet u/s. 173, Cr.P.C.–Further, if the language of the Court is any other language, per se the proceedings will not be vitiated unless it is established that the omission has resulted in failure of justice–It cannot be said that a non-supply of translation of the language of the charge-sheet and other documents to the accused will occasion the failure of justice–Impugned orders are liable to be set aside.
