Correct answer D

Section 282 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 259 CrPC) allows a summons case to be converted into a warrant case, and the court must then follow warrant procedure, so "The Court may convert the case into warrant-case but must first frame a formal charge and after recording plea of the accused take evidence for prosecution recalling the witnesses earlier examined."
