How to use this volume
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.

Answer
Section 19 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 is now section 2(16) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. "Judge" means a person officially designated as a Judge. It also includes two other kinds of person.
- A person empowered by law to give a definitive judgment in any legal proceeding, civil or criminal. A judgment that would be definitive if not appealed, or if confirmed by another authority, also counts.
- A person who is one of a body of persons empowered by law to give such a judgment.
The key test. The test is the power to give a definitive judgment. The title alone does not decide it.
Two examples.
- A Magistrate. The Sanhita's illustration covers a Magistrate trying a charge on which he can sentence to fine or imprisonment. He is a Judge, whether or not an appeal lies.
- A Judge of a High Court. A person officially designated as a Judge of a High Court or a District Court is a Judge.
Another example. A member of a bench of judges, such as a Constitution Bench, is a Judge. He is one of a body of persons empowered to give a judgment.
Why it matters. Judges are public servants (section 2(28)(b)). A Judge acting judicially is protected by the general exception in section 15. Nothing he does when acting judicially is an offence, if he uses a power the law gives him. It is enough that he believes in good faith that the law gives it.
Court. A "Court" means a Judge, or a body of Judges, empowered by law to act judicially, when acting judicially (section 2(5)).
