Chapter VIII - RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR ASSISTANCE IN CERTAIN MATTERS AND PROCEDURE FOR ATTACHMENT AND FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY (From Section 111 to Section 124)
Joinder of charges allows multiple offences of the same kind committed within a year to be tried together under one charge. Joinder of charges permits a person accused of several offences of the same kind, committed within a twelve month period from the first to the last, to be charged and tried together, subject to a statutory cap on the number of offences that may be joined in one trial. Offences are of the same kind when they carry the same quantum of punishment under the same section of the penal code or any special or local law, and an offence may be deemed the same kind as specified related offences or as an attempt when the attempt is an offence.
