The number of hearings will depend on the facts of the case. There is no fixed number of hearings that can be predetermined. It entirely depends on the circumstances of the case. Under Section 319 CrPC, the court has discretionary and extraordinary powers, which can be exercised only when strong and cogent evidence exists against a person from the evidence already led before the court.
