Additional Sessions Judges to try cases made over to them

AI Assist

Summary

An Additional Sessions Judge tries cases that the Sessions Judge of the division makes over to them by general or special order, or that the High Court directs by special order. It applies whenever the Sessions Judge transfers a case or the High Court assigns it. The Additional Sessions Judge will conduct the trial and decide the case.

Example

Anjali faces a theft charge but the Sessions Judge has a heavy docket and by general order makes over several trials to an Additional Sessions Judge. The Additional Sessions Judge will try Anjali's case instead of the Sessions Judge and deliver the verdict.

Bare Act

Enacted text

An Additional Sessions Judge shall try such cases as the Sessions Judge of the division may, by general or special order, make over to him for trial or as the High Court may, by special order, direct him to try.
