Section 36: Alterations in charge sheets

1) If, by the reason that additional evidence has been discovered in any case already filed in the court, it appears necessary to alter the charge made previously in that case, the concerned government attorney may, with the permission of the Attorney General, make a petition, accompanied by the reasons 51 therefor, to the concerned court of first instance for alteration in the charge sheet.

2) Upon receipt of such petition, the concerned court may, if the contents thereof appear to be reasonable, give order to alter the claim in the charge sheet in accordance with the petition.

Provided that an order to make such alteration shall be made before the concerned court of first instance passes judgment.
