Which of the following cases is related to the power of the court to examine the accused?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Under Section 351 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973), the court is empowered and required to examine the accused personally so that the accused has a fair opportunity to explain any incriminating circumstances appearing in the prosecution's evidence. Both Baba v. State of Maharashtra and Durbal Singh v. State deal with the scope, mandatory compliance, and evidentiary effect of the court's examination of the accused.
