“Trial” means the conclusion, by a competent tribunal of questions in issue in legal proceedings, whether civil or criminal.

In the oxford Dictionary the meaning of the word “trial” is: (1) The examination and determination of a cause by a judicial tribunal, determination of the guilt or innocence of an accused person by a Court; (2) The determination of a person’s guilt or innocence, of the right cousness of his cause, by a combat between the accuser and accused.

Generally speaking the word “trial”, is understood as referring to the stage of the proceedings in a criminal case after the charge had been framed against the accused. But sometimes the word ‘trial’ has been used in the Criminal Procedure Code itself as referring to a stage of proceedings prior to the framing of the charges.
