Which of the following provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 deals with the definition of “Judge”?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 2(16) BNS (formerly section 19 IPC) defines Judge for the Sanhita. It includes persons empowered by law to give the specified definitive judgments, not only those formally designated as judges. The definition therefore depends on judicial authority as well as an official title. Sections 2(27), 2(10) and 2(19) define public, gender and man respectively.
