Which statement about the Code of Criminal Procedure is true?

• A. The Code of Criminal Procedure is a law relating to a public servant's office or employment.
• B. The Code of Criminal Procedure governs only municipal budgets.
• C. It is not a law.
• D. It applies to private hospitals.

Answer: (B)

The main concept here is that the Code of Criminal Procedure is a law that lays out the procedures for enforcing criminal law. It tells you how investigations are conducted, how arrests and remand are handled, how charges are framed, how trials proceed, what evidence is admissible, and how judgments, appeals, and executions are carried out. It’s about the process of dealing with crimes, not about finances or public employment.

That’s why the statement about municipal budgets isn’t correct. Budgeting and financial matters fall under different areas of law and administration, not the criminal-procedure code. The Code of Criminal Procedure applies broadly to criminal proceedings involving any person within the country, including situations that may occur in private hospitals, but its purpose is the procedural framework for crime-related cases, not budgeting.
