Question/ Answer
Question1:- Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, when can a police officer arrest a person without a warrant?
  • A. When a public offense is committed in the officer’s presence.
  • B. When the offense is committed in the presence of a Magistrate.
  • C. When a person confesses to an offense.
  • D. Only after receiving prior approval from the court.
Answer is a is correct. Section 35 of BNSS, 2023 allows a police officer to arrest without a warrant if a public offense occurs in their "presence." Here, "presence" means direct sensory perception- seeing or hearing the offense occur. This ensures immediate intervention in ongoing or visible crimes. Therefore, option A is correct.
Question2:- What does Section 135 of the BNSS, 2023 pertain to?
  • A. Arrest without warrant.
  • B. Medical examination of the accused.
  • C. Inquiry after notice and order are served.
  • D. Search and seizure procedures.
Answer is c is correct. Section 135 of BNSS, 2023 provides the procedure for conducting an inquiry after a notice (usually under preventive provisions) is issued. It ensures that individuals get an opportunity to explain or comply with the order before any coercive action is taken. Therefore, option C is correct.
Question3:- According to Section 145 of BNSS, 2023, in which of the following cases may proceedings under Section 144 be taken against a person in any district?
  • A. Where he is residing.
  • B. Where he or his wife resided.
  • C. Where he last resided with his wife or with the mother of his illegitimate child.
  • D. All of the above.
Answer is d is correct. Section 145 extends the jurisdiction to initiate preventive actions under Section 144 to multiple locations associated with the person- current residence, past residence, and places where he lived with his spouse or partner. This ensures a broader scope for preventive measures. Therefore, option D is correct.
Question4:- Which Supreme Court case held that a co-accused’s confession is weak evidence and cannot alone justify conviction?
  • A. Nathu v. State of U.P. (1995)
  • B. Ram Prakash v. State of Punjab (1958)
  • C. Kashmira Singh v. State of M.P. (1952)
  • D. None of the above
Answer is c is correct. In Kashmira Singh v. State of M.P., the Supreme Court ruled that the confession of a co-accused is a weak form of evidence and cannot be the sole ground for conviction. Independent corroboration is necessary to ensure a fair trial. Therefore, option C is correct.
Question5:- According to Section 56 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 how can the contents of a document be proved?
  • A. Only through oral testimony
  • B. Only through primary evidence
  • C. Either by primary or secondary evidence
  • D. Only through certified copies
Answer is c is correct. Section 56 allows the contents of a document to be proved by either primary evidence (the original document) or secondary evidence (such as copies), depending on the circumstances. This aligns with the principle of flexibility in evidentiary rules when originals are unavailable for valid reasons. Therefore, option C is correct.
