Section 341 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 304 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973) mandates that where, in a trial or appeal before a Court, the accused is not represented by an advocate, and where it appears to the Court that the accused has not sufficient means to engage an advocate, the Court shall assign an advocate for his defence at the expense of the State.
