Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 446(2) of the BNSS requires every application to be made "By motion supported by affidavit or affirmation", except when the applicant is the Attorney-General of India or the Advocate-General of the State. An oral request or a letter does not meet the requirement, and the police are not the channel. A frivolous or vexatious application may lead to compensation being ordered under section 446(3).
