The University does not publish an official answer key for this paper. The answers in this volume are model answers, written to show how a full-mark answer is built. They are a study aid, not an authority on what an examiner marked.
The question paper reproduced here is the paper as set by the University of Mumbai at the May 2022 - CrPC examination.
This paper was set on the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, and its answers are written on the Code the questions name. The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 repealed the Code on 1 July 2024, though cases begun before that date still run under it, and the Sanhita papers sit in the same folder; a reader preparing for them should check every section number and every time limit against the Sanhita. Two further things are corrected silently throughout. Where the printed header names the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000, which was repealed on 15 January 2016, the answers are on the Act of 2015 as amended in 2021. And the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958, whose own Section 2(a) still defines the Code as that of 1898, is read today with the Code of 1973.

Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
MCQ
Multiple choice questions
1Release of a person from legal custody is knows as: A. Arrest B. Detention C. Bail D. Jail
Answer
The answer is C, Bail.
Bail is the release of a person from the custody of the law upon an undertaking, secured by a bond with or without sureties, that he will appear and answer the charge when required. The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 does not define it; the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 defines it for the first time in Indian law, in section 2(1)(b), as the release of a person accused of or suspected of the commission of an offence on the execution by such person of a bond or bail bond.
Why the other options are wrong. Arrest is the taking of a person into custody, the opposite of release, and section 46 describes how it is done. Detention is the continued holding of a person in custody. Jail is a place, not a legal act.
