CrPC Section 220 – How To Decide If Two Or More Acts Form “Same Transaction” For Joint Trial? Supreme Court Explains
Case: Ms. P XXX v. State of Uttarakhand And Anr.
Corum: Justices Dinesh Maheshwari and Vikram Nath
Case No.: Criminal Appeal No. 903 of 2022
Court Observation: “However, even while pointing out that the question as to whether a series of acts are so connected together as to form the same transaction is purely a question of fact, this Court has indicated the core elements like proximity of time, unity or proximity of place, continuity of action and community of purpose or design, which are of relevant considerations and when these factors are applied to common sense and ordinary use of language, the vexed question of ‘same transaction’ could be reasonably determined.”
