I am also suggesting the same idea.

It simply means that any error/ommission in stating the particulars of charge shall not affect the merits of the case unless the error or ommission causes prejudice to the accused in the trial. If the accused knows fully well what case he has to meet and has taken full opportunity in defending himself, then he is now allowed to take benefit of any mistakes in framing of charges against him.
