    Section 222 of the Criminal Procedure Code allows a person charged with a major offense to be convicted of a minor offense that constitutes part of the major offense. The document outlines a research project on Section 222 that will analyze changes from the previous code, define key terms like "minor offense" and "cognate offense", examine if technical irregularities can vitiate a trial, and determine if an accused can claim benefit from non-compliance of Section 222 procedures. The methodology will involve doctrinal research using primary sources like legal codes and case judgments as well as secondary sources such as legal books. The study aims to understand the jurisprudence of Section 222 and clarify its provisions and application.

    SYNOPSIS
    TITLE OF THE PROJECT:
    SECTION 222 AND ITS OUTCOME IN TRIAL PROCEDURE.
    INTRODUCTION
    In general, the rule is that an accused shall be apprised the charges for which he’s tried. The
    penumbra of the chapter titled as “CHARGES” is to make sure that accused is given the notice
    of offences for which he’s tried. But under Section 222 of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973
    contrary exists. It states that if a person is charged for a major offence and later on, if some of
    the elements of it constitute a minor offence, then he can be convicted.
    RESEARCH QUESTIONS
    1. Whether there exist any changes in the Section 222 of new code in relation to Section
    238 of the old code i.e. the Code of Criminal Procedure Code, 1898?
    2. Whether the word “minor offence” or cognate offence can be merely judged on the
    basis of lesser punishment?
    3. Whether a trial gets vitiated due to mere technical irregularities?
    4. Whether accused can claim benefit on mere non-compliance of procedure required
    under Section 222 of CRPC, 1973?
