For the purposes of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, an inquiry is conducted by whom?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 2(1)(k) of the BNSS (formerly section 2(g) CrPC) defines inquiry as every inquiry, other than a trial, conducted under the Sanhita by a "Magistrate or Court". A police officer investigates rather than inquires, and the definition is not confined to Magistrates alone or to the Court of Session.
