A person apprehends arrest for just one of the following offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Which offence is classified as non-bailable in the First Schedule and therefore satisfies the offence-classification requirement for an application under section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 482 permits an application to the High Court or the Court of Session where there is reason to believe a person may be arrested on an accusation of a non-bailable offence.

The First Schedule classifies dangerous-weapon hurt under section 118(1) as non-bailable and the other listed offences as bailable. The court still determines whether to grant relief.

Option feedback

Option A

The First Schedule classifies section 118(1) as non-bailable. The classification opens the statutory route without guaranteeing relief.

Option B

The schedule classifies section 117(2) as bailable.

Option C

Wrongful restraint is cognizable but bailable, so it does not satisfy this requirement.

Option D

Section 319(2) is cognizable but bailable.
