Which of the following is the correct answer?
(i) Provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 do not apply to the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
(ii) All provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 do not apply to the State of Nagaland.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 1 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 contains no exception for Jammu and Kashmir, so the Sanhita applies there and statement (i) is incorrect. It does, however, provide that the provisions of the Sanhita, other than those relating to Chapters IX, XI and XII, shall not apply to the State of Nagaland or to the tribal areas unless the State Government applies them by notification. Statement (ii) is therefore correct, so "Only (ii) is correct."

(Under the former section 1(2) CrPC, the Code did not extend to the State of Jammu and Kashmir until 2019, so both statements were then correct.)
