Rule 39. FAILURE TO ALLEGE THE DATE

The information or complaint shall be sufficient even though the date or the time in which the offense is alleged to have been committed is not stated, unless an allegation to that effect is necessary to charge the commission of an offense.

An allegation in an information or complaint to the effect that the defendant committed the offense shall be considered as an allegation that the offense was committed after the law created it, before the filing of the information and within the term prescribed by law.

All the allegations in an information, complaint or bill of particulars shall be construed in the sense that they refer to the same date or time, unless something to the contrary is stated.
