Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which of the following courts are shown as criminal courts?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The High Court, the Court of Session and a Judicial Magistrate of the first class all exercise criminal jurisdiction under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Section 6 (formerly section 6 CrPC) begins “Besides the High Courts” and then lists the prescribed classes, including Courts of Session and Judicial Magistrates of the first class. The introductory wording does not exclude the High Court merely because it is outside the subsequent list.
