Which of the following statements is true in case of women under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Under section 49(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 51(2) CrPC), a female search must be conducted by another female with strict regard to decency. Night-time arrest is not absolutely prohibited: under section 43(5), in exceptional circumstances a woman may be arrested after sunset and before sunrise if the woman police officer makes a written report and obtains the prior permission of the Judicial Magistrate of the first class. There is no rule that all cases must be tried only by women judges.
