The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 provides for : 1. Audio-Video recording of search of a place and seizure of a property 2. Issuance of a search warrant by a Court authorizing any Magistrate to search a parcel in the custody of the postal authority Select the answer using the code given below :

The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, which replaces the CrPC, introduces several technological and procedural reforms:

• Statement 1 is correct: Section 105 of the BNSS mandates that the entire process of search of a place and seizure of property, including the preparation of the seizure list and witness signatures, shall be recorded through audio-video electronic means (preferably by mobile phone). This recording must be forwarded to the Magistrate without delay to ensure transparency.
• Statement 2 is incorrect: Section 96(3) of the BNSS (corresponding to Section 93(3) of the CrPC) explicitly states that nothing in the section shall authorize any Magistrate other than a District Magistrate or Chief Judicial Magistrate to grant a warrant to search for a document or parcel in the custody of the postal authority. Therefore, the BNSS does not provide for "any Magistrate" to be authorized for such searches.
