Power of Court in plea bargaining
AI Assist
Summary
A court handling plea bargaining has the same powers it normally uses for bail, trial of offences and other steps needed to dispose of a case. When a plea bargain is considered or recorded the court can decide bail matters, conduct any necessary proceedings, and pass orders to finally dispose the case. The court uses its regular procedural powers for these purposes.
Example
Priya is charged with a minor theft and agrees a plea bargain to return the goods and pay a fine. While recording that bargain the court can resolve her bail application, carry out any necessary proceedings and pass the final order to dispose of the case under the bargain.
Bare Act
