Correct option is B
Section 70 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.), 1973, provides for the form, content, and duration of warrants of arrest. It also includes a provision that allows the court to cancel a warrant it has issued. Specifically, the section states that the court may direct that a warrant may be canceled by itself or if the person to whom the warrant is directed is satisfied that there is no need to execute it.
Information Booster Section 70 Cr.P.C. ensures that a warrant remains effective until it is either executed or canceled by the court that issued it. This section allows for judicial discretion in determining whether the warrant should be continued or withdrawn, ensuring that the power to issue a warrant is balanced by the power to revoke it when necessary.
Additional Knowledge Understanding the context of other sections related to warrants:
·
Section 69 (Option a): This section deals with the endorsement of a warrant by a Magistrate when the warrant is to be executed outside the local jurisdiction of the court that issued it.
·
Section 71 (Option c): Section 71 relates to the discretion of the court to allow a person arrested on a warrant to be released on bail, provided sufficient surety is given, but it does not specifically deal with the cancellation of the warrant.
·
None of the above (Option d): This option is incorrect because Section 70 specifically includes the provision for the cancellation of warrants.
