Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 213 BNSS says that, "Except as otherwise expressly provided", no Court of Session shall take cognizance of any offence "as a Court of original jurisdiction unless the case has been committed to it by a Magistrate". It cannot act directly on a complaint, a police report or its own knowledge; the exceptions, such as section 222(2), are express.
