Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. e-FIR, e-summons and e-warrants.
One of the most transformative technological shifts introduced by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) is the adoption of an electronic ecosystem featuring e-FIR, e-summons, and e-warrants. To modernize India's criminal justice system, Section 173 of the BNSS officially allows citizens to report cognizable offenses via electronic communication (e-FIR). Additionally, the law legalizes the electronic issuance and service of court summons and warrants, drastically minimizing paperwork, tracking delivery in real-time, and cutting down chronic judicial delays.
