Correct:
B
Explanation
The definition of Public Servant is provided in Section 2(28) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, which replaces Section 21 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The BNS has omitted the obsolete 5th clause of the IPC definition, which included "every juryman, assessor, or member of a panchayat assisting a Court of Justice".
- Liquidator: Explicitly included under Section 2(28)(c) as an officer of a Court of Justice.
- Member of Panchayat: While the specific mention of "assisting a court" is gone, they remain public servants under Section 2(28)(k)(ii) (local authority) or Section 2(28)(j) (public duty).
- Assessor: Although the court-assisting role is removed, "officers making assessments" for the government are included under Section 2(28)(g).
- Juryman: This term is completely omitted from the BNS as the jury system is obsolete in India.
