Police seek to prosecute a person under section 210 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) for failing to comply with a purported notice under section 94 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS). The notice identifies no document or electronic record to be produced and specifies neither the time nor the place of production. Which statement accords with the principle in Meera Kapoor v. State (Delhi High Court, 12 March 2008)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 210 BNS (formerly section 175 IPC) punishes intentional omission to produce a document or electronic record that a person is legally bound to produce. Meera Kapoor, decided under the corresponding provision of the CrPC (now section 94 BNSS), rejected a purported notice identifying no document, production time or place and quashed the resulting proceedings.
