Resumption of inquiry or trial

The CrPC 1973 was replaced by the BNSS 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 331 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 531, BNSS 2023).

(1) Whenever an inquiry or a trial is postponed under Section 328 or Section 329, the Magistrate or Court as the case may be, may at any time after the person concerned has ceased to be of unsound mind, resume the inquiry or trial, and require the accused to appear or be brought before such Magistrate or Court. (2) When the accused has been released under Section 330, and the sureties for his appearance produce him to the officer whom the Magistrate or Court appoints in this behalf, the certificate of such officer that the accused is capable of making his defence shall be receivable in evidence.
