Which of the following is incorrect in the context of Section 341 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 341 of the BNSS (formerly section 304 CrPC) requires the Court to assign a pleader at State expense for an unrepresented accused who lacks sufficient means in a trial or appeal before a Court, which includes a Sessions trial. It contains no exclusion for an accused charged with rape under section 64 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. High Court rules, with the previous approval of the State Government, and notified extension to other classes of trials are expressly permitted.
