Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which of the following statements is/are true?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 2(1)(k) of the BNSS (formerly section 2(g) CrPC) defines inquiry as every inquiry, other than a trial, conducted under the Sanhita by a Magistrate or Court, so the answer is "Inquiry means every inquiry other than a trial conducted under the Sanhita by a magistrate or court". A trial is therefore excluded from the definition. Under section 2(1)(l), investigation means proceedings for collecting evidence by a police officer or a person (other than a Magistrate) authorised by a Magistrate, not by a Magistrate.
