Power of the Court in plea bargaining

AI Assist

Summary

When a court conducts plea bargaining under this Chapter it may exercise all the powers it normally has in criminal proceedings for bail, trial and other steps needed to dispose of the case. That lets the court admit or reject a plea, deal with bail and witnesses, and record the disposal or sentence using its usual procedural powers.

Example

Rohan admits to a minor theft and agrees a plea bargain with the prosecutor. When the matter comes to court, the court can decide Rohan's bail, hear evidence if needed, accept the plea and pass an appropriate disposal or sentence without a full trial.

Bare Act

Enacted text

A Court shall have, for the purposes of discharging its functions under this Chapter, all the powers vested in respect of bail, trial of offences and other matters relating to the disposal of a cast in such Court under this Code.
