As per the provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which of the following are acquittals?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 279 provides acquittal upon the specified complainant nonappearance, after giving the complainant thirty days' time to be present and subject to its exceptions; a valid composition under section 359 has the effect of acquittal by subsection (8). Section 268(2) is discharge in a warrant complaint case, and section 226 dismisses the complaint before issue of process. Therefore statements (a) and (d) identify acquittals. (These BNSS provisions correspond to former sections 256, 245(2), 203 and 320 CrPC.)
