Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

"Robbery of property where the value is less than Rs. 20,000" may not be tried summarily, because robbery (s.309 BNS, punishable with up to ten years) is neither listed in Section 283(1) BNSS (formerly s.260 CrPC) nor within s.283(2); s.283 covers receiving or retaining, and assisting in concealment of, stolen property where the value does not exceed twenty thousand rupees, and allows a Magistrate, after hearing the accused and recording reasons, to try summarily offences punishable with imprisonment up to three years.
