Under the BNSS definition of a complaint, to whom is the allegation made with a view to action under the Sanhita?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 2(1)(h) describes a complaint as an oral or written allegation made "To a Magistrate." with a view to action under the BNSS. A police report is generally excluded, although the Explanation deems the specified police report disclosing a non-cognizable offence after investigation to be a complaint, so "Only to a police officer." is wrong.
