Severance.

Explanation:

In a court, severance is the process of conducting criminal trials separately although the criminals were engaged in the same crime. The court, on the request of a counsel or an attorney, may grant a severance to criminals who were charged with the same offense.

Under Rule 14 of the Criminal Procedure, it gives the right to criminals to request for a severance in certain cases.

If the defendants, tried together for the robbery of a bank, do not want to be tried at the same time in the same court, their counsel should submit a motion for severance.
