The non-compliance with the provisions of Section 183 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 509 of the BNSS (formerly section 463 CrPC) allows the court to address qualifying defects in recording an accused's statement under section 183 (formerly section 164 CrPC). Before admitting it, the court must be satisfied both that the defect did not injure the defence on the merits and that the accused duly made the recorded statement. Non-compliance therefore does not automatically make every such statement a nullity.
