Statutory text

Though it is not necessary to frame a formal charge in cases tried summarily, it is always desirable that the ingredients of the offence as also the particulars thereof of which the accused is charged are clearly stated to him. In case the accused pleads guilty the Magistrate should question the accused, in respect of each particular of the offence and record in full his answer to the same.
