Under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973, which specific provision provides the legal definition for a 'Bailable Offence' ?
AIBE - 2026,
Answer: C
The definition is in Section 2(a).
Section 2(a) of the CrPC defines a 'bailable offence' as an offence shown as bailable in the First Schedule or made bailable by any other law for the time being in force, and 'non-bailable offence' as any other offence.
The other clauses define different terms: Section 2(c) defines a cognizable offence, Section 2(h) defines investigation, and Section 2(x) defines a warrant-case. The same definition is carried into the BNSS, 2023.
