A High Court or Court of Session considers bail for a person accused under section 65(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Under the second proviso to section 483(1) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, what notice requirement applies before bail is granted?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The second proviso to section 483(1) requires the High Court or Court of Session, before granting bail for the specified offences, to give the Public Prosecutor notice within fifteen days from receipt of notice of the application. Its specified offences include section 65 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Private counsel does not replace this notice.

Option feedback

Option A

This is the special proviso’s fifteen-day requirement.

Option B

The special proviso specifies fifteen days, not seven.

Option C

Private representation does not dispense with notice to the Public Prosecutor.

Option D

The impracticability exception appears in the preceding general proviso, not this special proviso.
