Question:

Error or omission in framing of charge by a court is:

Options:

Material in all circumstances and shall vitiate the trial

Material only if it has occasioned a failure of justice to the accused

Material and the accused is liable to be acquitted

All of these

Correct Answer:

Material only if it has occasioned a failure of justice to the accused

Explanation:

In legal terms, if there is a non-framing of charge or any error, omission, or irregularity in the charge, the finding, sentence, or any order by a court of competent jurisdiction is generally considered valid unless it has occasioned a failure of justice. If the irregularity has not affected the fairness or justice of the proceedings, the findings or orders may still stand.
