Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

A court that tries a case without jurisdiction is "Coram non judice", and its proceedings are a nullity. Under Section 21 read with the First Schedule of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 26 CrPC), murder is triable only by the Court of Session, so a lower court trying a murder case acts coram non judice.
