AIBE VI (2014) - Solved Question Paper with Explanations

Q: The Criminal Procedure Code ensures that

Correct option: A. CrPC structures the machinery of criminal justice by assigning and limiting powers between police, prosecution, and courts. This operationalizes checks and balances so that one limb does not trespass into another's domain (e.g., investigation by police, trial by courts), thereby safeguarding separation of powers. Options B and D misstate or negate that principle; C is overbroad.

Q: Section 6 of the Cr.P.C. defines?

Correct option: A. Section 6 CrPC lists the classes of criminal courts: Courts of Session, Judicial Magistrates (First and Second Class), Metropolitan Magistrates, and Executive Magistrates.

Q: When an offence is bailable:

Correct option: B. Under Section 436 CrPC, in a bailable offence, bail is a matter of right upon offering sureties or personal bond. Judicial discretion primarily applies in non-bailable offences (S.437/439). The 24-hour rule relates to production before a Magistrate (S.57), not automatic release.

Q: As per section 273 of Cr.P.C., how an evidence is to be taken?

Correct option: D. Section 273 mandates that evidence shall be taken in the presence of the accused; if attendance is dispensed with, it can be in the presence of the accused’s pleader. Presence of police is not the statutory requirement.

Q: If a woman sentenced to death is found to be pregnant, the High Court shall Order the execution of the sentence

Correct option: B. Section 416 CrPC empowers the High Court to commute the sentence of death to imprisonment for life if the woman is found to be pregnant. Mere postponement is not what the section mandates.

Q: Under which section of the Cr.P.C, the procedure when investigation cannot be completed within twenty-four hours has been described?

Correct option: B. Section 167 CrPC lays down the procedure for remand when investigation cannot be completed within 24 hours, permitting Magistrate to authorize detention (police/judicial) within specified limits.

Q: What is provided by the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973?

Correct option: D. CrPC is the procedural law for investigation, inquiry, trial, and overall administration of criminal justice. It does not govern civil justice, which is under CPC.

Q: As per section 2(c) a cognizable offence is

Correct option: A. Section 2(c) CrPC defines ‘cognizable offence’ as one for which a police officer may arrest without warrant and investigate without prior order of a Magistrate.
