Depends if summons cases, valid, if warrant case invalid.

if the accused pleads guilty to charge then he can be convicted in terms of section
229 in trial before court of sessions
241 in warrant cases by magistrate
252 in trial of summons cases by magistrate
then in that case there is no question of statement u/s 313 CrPC.

accused admissions can be taken in to account while appreciating the evidence and can form a reason for conviction.
admission in 313 alone cannot be the basis of conviction,if other evidence are not sufficient for conviction

Generally answering there is no need of complying 313 in that circumstances. If there is any special circumstances to deviate from that kindly note.

Adv.Shine Thomas (Expert) 02 October 2008
At the trial accused pleaded guilty means, he answered to the 313 questioning. so the Magistrate can convict the accused on the basis of the evidence.After framing of charge there is no chance to the accused to plead guilty. Therefore should presume that the accused answered to the 313 questioning but the Magistrate convicted the accused on the basis of the evidence and hence the order is valid.313 questioning is only to answer to the evidence recorded in the case and not to plead or deny the guilty.
