Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, Chapter XIX is titled 'Trial before a Court of Session' and spans Sections 248 to 260 (corresponding to Chapter XVIII, Sections 225 to 237 of the erstwhile Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973).

By contrast, Sections 223–233 deal with complaints and commencement of proceedings before Magistrates, Sections 234–247 (Chapter XVIII) deal with the Charge, and Sections 261–273 (Chapter XX) deal with Trial of Warrant-Cases by Magistrates.
