Verified Answer
A. When co-accused dies.
B. When the accused is misled by the error.
C. When a material witness becomes hostile.
D. When the accused is declared absconded.
Explanation:
Section 215 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, provides that an error in stating the particulars in the charge is considered material only if the accused was actually misled by such error, leading to a failure of justice. The other options are not directly related to the materiality of an error in the charge itself.
