Section 143

If after taking the written statements and all the other evidence, if any, in support of the prosecution, the examining Magistrate is of the opinion that on the evidence as it stands the accused should be committed for trial, he shall frame a charge under his hand declaring with what offence or offences the accused is charged.

As soon as the charge has been framed, it shall be read and explained to the accused and the examining Magistrate shall say to him these words or words to the like effect:“Having heard the evidence do you wish to say anything in answer to the charge? You have nothing to hope from any promise of favour and nothing to fear from any threat which may have been held out to you to induce you to make any confession of your guilt. You are not bound to say anything unless you desire to do so but whatever you say will be taken down in writing and may be given in evidence at your trial.”.[142
