The Punjab and Haryana High Court has ruled that an investigating agency cannot be allowed to add or delete offences during the progress of trial. It can also not be permitted to convert a magisterial trial into sessions’ trial or vice versa.
Depending on the gravity of offences and the punishment prescribed, a criminal trial is classified into magisterial and sessions’ trial. The offence is triable by a court of session, if it is punishable with imprisonment for life or more than seven years under the special law.
