Which of the following statements about Section 348 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 is wrong?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 348 BNSS (formerly section 311 CrPC) lets the court, at any stage of an inquiry, trial or other proceeding, summon, or recall and re-examine, any witness, and says the court shall do so if the evidence appears to it to be essential to the just decision of the case. The power exists to discover the truth and reach a just decision, not to fill gaps in the prosecution case. So each of the three statements is correct and none is wrong.
