Correct option is B
The term "offence" is defined under Section 2(n) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. It defines an offence as any act or omission made punishable by any law for the time being in force.
Information Booster:
The definition of "offence" is crucial in criminal law as it determines the scope of acts that can be prosecuted under the law. It covers a wide range of acts, from minor infractions to serious crimes.
Additional Knowledge:
· Section 40: Deals with the duty of officers employed, in connection with the affairs of a village to make a certain report, not the definition of an offence.
· Section 2(w): Defines warrant cases under the CrPC.
· None of the above: Incorrect, as Section 2(n) is the correct provision.
