Section 218 of CrPC : Section 218: Separate charges for distinct offences.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi is accused of two separate crimes: one for burglary that took place on January 1st and another for assault that occurred on February 15th. According to Section 218 of The Code of Criminal Procedure 1973, Ravi must be charged separately for the burglary and the assault. Each charge will be tried in separate trials unless Ravi submits a written application requesting that both charges be tried together, and the Magistrate agrees that this will not prejudice Ravi's case.

Example 2:

Priya is accused of embezzling funds from her employer on March 10th and of committing fraud on April 5th. Under Section 218, Priya will face separate charges for embezzlement and fraud, and each charge will be tried in a different court session. However, if Priya believes that having both charges tried together would be more efficient and fair, she can apply in writing to the Magistrate. If the Magistrate determines that combining the trials will not harm Priya's defense, both charges may be tried together in a single trial.
