Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

CrPC section 251 requires the particulars of the offence to be stated and the accused to be asked whether he pleads guilty or has a defence. It expressly says that a formal charge need not be framed in a summons case.

Current law: BNSS section 274 retains this rule and additionally permits discharge, with recorded reasons, where the accusation is groundless.
