It is the descretion of the court to take the statement of the accused u/s. 313 crpc or dispense with it.

Section 313, Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 empowers the Court to put to the accused at any stage of inquiry or trial such questions as it considers necessary without previous warning.the power thus conferred, exercisable at its discretion at any stage of the inquiry or trial, has to be necessarily exercised under the terms of the section after the witnesses for the prosecution have been examined and before the accused is called upon to enter on his defense.
