Q 1:- explain the procedure of session trial as per provisions of BNSS
The Sessions trial procedure under BNSS is laid down in the Chapter on “Trial before a Court of Session” (commonly taught as Sections 248–260).
Step-wise procedure (BNSS)
-
Prosecution by Public Prosecutor: Every Sessions trial is to be conducted by a Public Prosecutor (S.248).
-
Opening of prosecution case: After the case is committed to the Sessions Court and the accused appears/is brought, the prosecutor opens the case by describing the charge and stating the proposed evidence (S.249, linked with committal S.232).
-
Discharge stage: The accused can seek discharge; BNSS introduces/mentions a timeline concept in practice notes (discharge application within 60 days of committal) and the Judge may discharge if there is no sufficient ground to proceed (S.250).
