The text below is this provision as reproduced in the Revised Edition that came into force on this date. A revised edition consolidates the law without changing its substance, so editorial amendments — such as renumbering, updated citations and formatting — may have been made but are not shown as a redline.
Despite any other provision in this Code, where before a trial or at any stage of a trial, a court is of the view that an accused may be prejudiced or embarrassed in the accused’s defence because —
(b)the accused is charged with and tried at one trial with one or more other co‑accused under section 143, 144 or 145(1)(b),
the court may order that the accused be charged and tried separately for any one or more of the offences.
