Every warrant of arrest issued by a court under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 shall remain in force
Explanation
Under Section 70(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973, a warrant of arrest issued by a court does not have a fixed expiration period. It remains valid and in force until one of two specific events occurs:
- It is executed (the person is arrested).
- It is cancelled by the Court which issued it.
Option A is a correct statement based on the statute. Option B is legally inaccurate because the power to cancel the warrant is specifically vested in the issuing court, not "any court." Options C and D are incorrect as the law does not prescribe a time-bound validity (like 30 or 90 days) for arrest warrants, ensuring that an accused cannot escape the law simply by absconding for a certain duration.
