Criminal Session Case 7793 of 2024 Ruling MrishaJ
Failure to supply committal proceedings to the accused persons before commencement of trial contravenes section 249(1) of the CPA and vitiates the proceedings. Representation by counsel does not cure the omission. The proper remedy is to dismiss the charge and discharge the accused.
