Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which of the following irregularities does NOT vitiate the proceedings, if any Magistrate not being empowered by law in this behalf, does any of the following things?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under section 507 of the BNSS (formerly section 461 CrPC), an order under section 152 as to a local nuisance, an order under Part C or Part D of Chapter XI, and an order for maintenance, if made by a Magistrate not empowered by law, render the proceedings void (clauses (h), (j) and (g)). Section 506(c) instead saves holding an inquest under section 196 when done erroneously in good faith, so only the inquest does not vitiate the proceedings.
