Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which of the following statements about recording reasons is wrong?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Under sections 250 and 262 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly sections 227 and 239 CrPC) a court discharging an accused must record its reasons, so the statement "When an accused is discharged the court need not record the reasons" is wrong. Dismissal of a complaint under section 226 also requires brief reasons. By contrast, an order taking cognizance or framing a charge need not be a detailed reasoned order, though it must show application of mind (Bhushan Kumar v State (NCT of Delhi), 2012).
