Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 127 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 121 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) requires the special order of a court to which the Judge or Magistrate is subordinate before compelling answers about his own conduct in court or knowledge obtained in court in that capacity. A generic permission is not the specified special-order requirement. The protection does not prohibit examination about other matters occurring in the Judge’s presence while acting judicially.
