Ker. HC has held that request for addition of the charge under Section 370 Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC), as it stood prior to 2013, cannot be made at instance of prosecution. An addition of charge has to be done by Court based upon its own satisfaction and not at the behest of parties to the trial.
