Under section 2(16) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which of the following is not a correct statement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 2(16) BNS defines "Judge" as a person who is officially designated as a Judge, and includes a person (i) who is empowered by law to give, in any legal proceeding, civil or criminal, a definitive judgment, or a judgment which, if not appealed against, would be definitive, or a judgment which, if confirmed by some other authority, would be definitive; or (ii) who is one of a body of persons empowered by law to give such a judgment (formerly s.19 IPC). A person whose judgment becomes definitive on confirmation by another authority is expressly included, so the last statement is not correct.
The other three statements reproduce parts of the definition: official designation, a judgment that would be definitive if not appealed against, and membership of a body of persons empowered to give such a judgment.
