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 Nov 2011 - 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 The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 repealed the Code on 1 July 2024, though cases begun before that date still run under it, and the Sanhita papers sit in the same folder; a reader preparing for them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 Where the printed header names the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000, which was repealed on 15 January 2016, the answers are on the Act of 2015 as amended in 2021.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.
The questions below are the paper as the University of Mumbai set it at the Nov 2011 - CrPC examination, in the order it was set.

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
Note. Another paper in this subject sets the same question in slightly different words, and it takes the same answer, as the rule for a previous year paper solution set requires.
Section 133 does not define public nuisance; it gives a Magistrate the power to remove one by a conditional order. It provides that whenever a District Magistrate, Sub-divisional Magistrate or Executive Magistrate specially empowered considers, on receiving a police report or other information and on taking such evidence as he thinks fit, that:
he may make a conditional order requiring the person causing it to remove it, or to appear and show cause why the order should not be made absolute.
The case. In Municipal Council, Ratlam v. Vardhichand, (1980) 4 SCC 162, residents of a ward complained of open drains and filth, and the municipality pleaded that it had no funds. The Supreme Court upheld an order under section 133 directing the municipality to build drains, and held that the section is a public remedy of a summary kind which a court must use where a public nuisance harms the community, whatever the cost.
