⚖️ Procedure of Sessions Trial (Chapter XXII-A Cr.P.C.)
Under the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.), 1898, a trial before a Court of Session or a High Court is conducted for serious offences. This procedure is primarily governed by Chapter XXII-A (Sections 265-A to 265-N).

I. COMMENCEMENT OF THE TRIAL:
1. Conduct by Public Prosecutor (Section 265-A): In every trial before a Court of Session, the prosecution must be conducted by a Public Prosecutor.

If the accused claims trial (refuses to plead guilty), the Court proceeds to record evidence.

II. THE EVIDENCE STAGE:
