Who appoints the presiding officers of the Courts of Judicial Magistrate as per Section 9 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The High Court appoints the presiding officers of Courts of Judicial Magistrates under section 9(2) of the BNSS (formerly section 11(2) CrPC). This is different from the State Government’s role in establishing those courts after consultation with the High Court. The section assigns appointment to the High Court as an institution, rather than naming the Chief Justice alone.
