Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 181 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 162 CrPC) bars use of a witness's statement to the police except to contradict that witness in the manner provided by Section 148 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, but Section 181(2) expressly excludes statements falling within Section 26(a) of that Adhiniyam (dying declarations), so such a statement is admissible "Both, to contradict such a witness or in case of a dying declaration."
