CRPC SECTION 220 - HOW TO DECIDE IF TWO OR MORE ACTS FORM "SAME TRANSACTION" FOR JOINT TRIAL? SUPREME COURT EXPLAINS The Supreme Court, on Thursday, reiterated that whether two or more acts constitute the same transaction for the purpose of being tried together under Section 220 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C), is purely a question of fact.
