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 Dec 2024 - BNSS 60/40 examination.

This subject sits on the join between two codes, so every procedural answer in this volume gives the section of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and names the section of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 that it replaced. The Sanhita received assent on 25 December 2023 and came into force on 1 July 2024, repealing the old Code by Section 531(1), but Section 531(2)(a) keeps any appeal, application, trial, inquiry or investigation already pending on that date running under the old Code to its end, so both are still live in the courts and a question may be set on either. Where a question in these papers names an older provision, and the ATKT paper does so twice, asking for remedies under the CrPC and setting an offence under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code, the answer gives the provision now in force and names the one the paper cites. A textbook numbered on the old Code can therefore still be used with these pages, provided every section number and every time limit is checked against the new Sanhita.

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.

(a)What is the meaning of non-cognizable offence?[2]

Answer

Section 2(1)(o), BNSS, 2023 (formerly s.2(l), CrPC): a "non-cognizable offence" means an offence for which, and a "non-cognizable case" means a case in which, a police officer has no authority to arrest without warrant.

The consequence follows from s.174, BNSS (formerly s.155, CrPC): the police may neither investigate a non-cognizable case nor arrest in it without the order of a Magistrate having power to try the case.
