Explanation:
This question requires matching specific aspects of summons and warrants under the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), 1973, with their corresponding sections. Understanding these provisions is fundamental to criminal procedure. Let's break down the matching process: **List-I (Aspects of Summons/Warrants) and their correct CrPC Sections:** * **(A) Forms of summons:** This refers to the prescribed format or content of a summons. Section 61 of the CrPC deals with the form of summons, stating that every summons shall be in writing, in duplicate, signed by the presiding officer of the Court or by such other officer as the High Court may, from time to time, by rule direct, and shall bear the seal of the Court. Therefore, (A) matches with **(2) Section 61 Cr.P.C.** * **(B) Summons how served:** This concerns the procedure for delivering a summons to the person it is addressed to. Section 62 of the CrPC specifies how summons are to be served, typically by a police officer or an officer of the Court, by delivering or tendering a copy of the summons to the person summoned personally. Therefore, (B) matches with **(3) Section 62 Cr.P.C.** * **(C) Form of warrant of arrest and duration:** This relates to the format of an arrest warrant and its validity period. Section 70 of the CrPC outlines the form of a warrant of arrest and its duration. It states that every warrant of arrest issued by a Court under this Code shall be in writing, signed by the presiding officer, and shall bear the seal of the Court, and shall remain in force until it is cancelled by the Court which issued it, or until it is executed. Therefore, (C) matches with **(1) Section 70 Cr.P.C.** * **(D) Where warrant may be executed:** This specifies the territorial limits or locations where an arrest warrant can be carried out. Section 77 of the CrPC provides that a warrant of arrest may be executed at any place in India. Therefore, (D) matches with **(4) Section 77 Cr.P.C.** **Now, let's combine these matches:** * (A) - (2) * (B) - (3) * (C) - (1) * (D) - (4) **Finally, let's check the given options:** * Option (1): (A)-(3), (B)-(2), (C)-(1), (D)-(4) - Incorrect, as (A) is matched with (3) instead of (2). * Option (2): (A)-(1), (B)-(3), (C)-(2), (D)-(4) - Incorrect, as (A) is matched with (1) instead of (2). * Option (3): (A)-(2), (B)-(3), (C)-(1), (D)-(4) - This option perfectly matches our derived correct pairings. Therefore, this is the correct answer. * Option (4): (A)-(2), (B)-(1), (C)-(4), (D)-(3) - Incorrect, as (B), (C), and (D) are mismatched.
