After the FIR, its informant gives a further statement to the police during investigation of that offence. Under the BNSS, which rule ordinarily governs use of that further statement at the inquiry or trial?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The governing rule is "The restrictions on police-investigation statements in section 181, subject to its exceptions" Section 181 permits specified use for contradiction and subsection (2) preserves stated exceptions; a further investigative statement does not become an FIR merely because its maker was the informant, so "It is automatically a second FIR under section 173" is wrong.
