Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973–Sec. 228–Framing of charge–Legal aspects–At the time of framing the charge, the truth, veracity, and the effect of evidence which the prosecution proposes to produce, are not to be meticulously examined–At this stage, the Court has only to see whether the unrebutted evidence, which the prosecution is to adduce, make way for conviction and if it is so, then the charge can be framed–The Court, while framing the charges, is required to evaluate the material and documents on record with a view to find out if the facts emerging therefrom disclose the presence of all the ingredients constituting the alleged offence.
