Substitution of accused under crpc

Rahul Pai (Querist) 13 February 2019 This query is : Resolved
Is there a provision under the CrPC to "substitute" an accused with another accused?
In an instance if a person 'acting' as an officer of an industry is accused for an incident, then can he be substituted by another accused?
