BLS LLB 5 Years Sem 9 CRPC Solved Question Papers with Answers 2017 to 2025 - Mumbai University | munotes

This folder is a closed set, and knowing that changes how you use it. The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure on 1 July 2024, so no new paper will ever be set under this name; Sem 9 BNSS is the subject that carries on from here, and its own solved folder begins where this one ends. What that means in practice is that these eight papers are the whole of the CrPC question bank this course produced, and the recycling in them is therefore visible in a way it is not in a subject still running.

The single most reliable thing in the folder is a problem about a man arrested for rape. It is set in four of the eight papers, with only the name changed: A in the 2017-18 paper under form 76668, Mr. Rana in the second paper inside that same scan and again in 2018-19, and Mr. X in 2022-23. The two limbs never change either. Can he be released on bail, and when; and can he compound the offence, and why. One prepared answer covers all four, and it needs four facts and two cases: that the offence is cognizable, non-bailable, non-compoundable and triable exclusively by the Court of Session; that Section 437(1) shuts the Magistrate out wherever reasonable grounds appear, so the application belongs to the Court of Session or the High Court under Section 439; that bail becomes his as of right on the ninety-first day if no chargesheet is filed; and that Section 320(9) makes the two tables exhaustive, with Shimbhu holding that a compromise has no place in such a case.

Three more problems come round twice each and are worth reading in pairs. Mr. Bhagat is convicted of murder with the death penalty and asked about his appeal and about confirmation, in Q.P. Code 10235 and again in 2018-19. Raju and Dev commit a dacoity at P. K. Jewellers and are asked about discharge and about a tender of pardon, in the same two papers. And a man is tried for attempt to murder under Section 307 and acquitted, and you are asked to whom the appeal lies and whether the victim may prefer one, as Ram and Shyam in 2017-18 and as Ramesh and Rajesh in 2022-23. The limitation problem is set twice as well, with only the punishment altered, two years in 2022-23 and six months in the 2024-25 ATKT paper, so the answer moves between clause (c) and clause (b) of Section 468(2) and everything else stays put.

The short answer section is more finite than it looks. A hundred of the two hundred and two questions here are two mark definitions or objective questions, and they keep returning to the same handful. Who is a Public Prosecutor is asked five times, who is a probation officer seven, what is meant by charge six, define inquiry five, how is an arrest made or when may a police officer arrest without a warrant five, when may a search warrant be issued four. None of those answers is longer than three lines, and between them they account for about a quarter of the marks the folder ever offers for a definition.

The paper is never only the Code, and the second and third statutes are where marks are most easily lost. The printed header on six of the seven scans names the Criminal Procedure Code, the Juvenile Justice Act 2000 and the Probation of Offenders Act 1958, and the child law and the probation law together carry about a third of every paper. That is what the numbers show in the long answer section: of the forty essay questions worth twelve marks each, five are on the Juvenile Justice Act and four on the Probation of Offenders Act, against four on bail and four on appeals. The Probation Act is the shorter read of the two, nineteen sections in all, and Sections 3, 4, 6, 12 and 14 answer almost everything asked of it.

One thing about that header you should not take at face value. The Juvenile Justice Act, 2000 was repealed on 15 January 2016, before the oldest paper in this folder was set, so every paper except the online one names a statute that was not in force when it was written. The Act you are examined on is the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, as amended by the Amendment Act of 2021 which came into force on 1 September 2022. The 2021-22 online paper is the only one whose header gets it right, and it is also the only paper in the folder set as twenty multiple choice questions and ten descriptive ones, with no marks and no duration printed anywhere on it.

A word on the last paper in the folder, because it will look wrong when you open it. The 2024-25 ATKT paper was sat on 4 April 2025, nine months after the CrPC was repealed, and it still asks for the procedure for granting bail under the CrPC and for the framing of charges under Section 211 of the CrPC. It is answered here on the Code the questions name, with the Sanhita provision that now carries the same rule given at the end of each answer, which is what a student examined on this syllabus today has to be able to do in either direction.
