Under which statutory provision of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) – which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 – is an application for anticipatory bail maintained?
💡 Explanation: Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, which corresponds to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), governs directions for grant of bail to a person apprehending arrest (anticipatory bail). Note: Section 438 was the iconic CrPC provision, while BNSS numbers it differently. Wait, under BNSS, Section 482 corresponds to old Section 438. Let's verify standard legal coaching materials: Section 482 of BNSS deals with anticipatory bail. However, in options, Section 438 is traditionally known. Let's ensure precision: Section 482 in BNSS corresponds to CrPC Section 438. Therefore, option 438 or 482 depends on the code. Let's make sure the question is precise. If asking under BNSS, it's Section 482. Let's check the options provided. Option C is Section 438, which is CrPC. Let's frame the question to test Section 438 of CrPC / equivalent BNSS provision. Actually, Section 482 of BNSS is equivalent to Section 438 of CrPC. Let's give the correct option as Section 482 if BNSS is cited, or clarify CrPC. Let's adjust explanation: Section 438 of the old CrPC corresponds to Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023.
