The term 'Victim' has defined under :

  • A.Section 2 (wa) Cr.P.C.
  • B.Section 2 (wb) Cr.P.C.
  • C.Section 2 (xa) Cr.P.C.
  • D.Section 2 (za) Cr.P.C.

Answer: A

'Victim' is defined in Section 2(wa) Cr.P.C.

Section 2(wa) was inserted by the Code of Criminal Procedure (Amendment) Act, 2008, in force from 31 December 2009. It defines a victim as a person who has suffered any loss or injury caused by the act or omission for which the accused has been charged, and includes the victim's guardian or legal heir. The same amendment gave victims a right of appeal under the proviso to section 372.

Section 2(wb), 2(xa) and 2(za) are not the definition of victim in the Code.
