What is the principal procedural purpose of distinguishing summons-cases from warrant-cases under the BNSS?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The definitions in section 2(1)(x) and section 2(1)(z) connect to different Magistrate trial procedures in Chapters XX and XXI, so their purpose is "To identify the applicable trial procedure". They do not "To classify investigation as cognizable or non-cognizable", do not by themselves "To require a warrant in every warrant-case and a summons in every summons-case", and do not "To create the substantive punishment for the offence".
