اگر ملزم بوقت فرد جرم اپنے خلاف لگائے گئے الزامات سے انکار کردے اسکے باوجود بھی وہ مقدمات کی سماعت کے کسی بھی مرحلہ پر اعتراف جرم کرتا ہے تو اسکو قلمبند کرنے میں کوئی قانونی ممانعت نہ ہے

Legality of admission of guilt mid-way during the trial.

There is no specific prohibition for recording plea of guilt at any stage of trial and such arrangement in no case opposes to right to fair trial if accused opts to waive the same to cut short the process in order to avoid the agony or rigors of protracted trial. However, Court is always at guard to take a careful look why the accused is admitting his guilt and shall ensure that the trial of offence entailing capital punishment should not be terminated mere on the admission of guilt by the accused, for which recording of evidence is essential.
