Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 2(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 defines Court as a Judge who is empowered by law to act judicially alone, or a body of Judges empowered by law to act judicially as a body, when such Judge or body of Judges is acting judicially (formerly section 20 IPC, which used the term Court of Justice). Section 2(16) defines Judge, section 2(12) defines Government and section 2(6) defines death. Therefore Section 2(5) is the requested provision.
