पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option B (Only statement (ii) is correct).

Key Points:
• Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 – Legal Distinctions under Section 2:
• Under Section 2(g), "Inquiry" means every inquiry, other than a trial, conducted under this Code by a Magistrate or Court.
• Under Section 2(h), "Investigation" includes all the proceedings under this Code for the collection of evidence conducted by a police officer or by any person (other than a Magistrate) authorized by a Magistrate in this behalf.
• In law, these two terms have distinct, well-defined statutory meanings and are NOT the same.
• Statement (ii) is strictly correct, while statement (i) is false. Statement (iii) is not legally precise as their definitions are fixed by statute.
• Hence, Only statement (ii) is correct (Option 2).
• Key Takeaway: Under CrPC, 'Inquiry' (Section 2(g)) is conducted by a Magistrate/Court, whereas 'Investigation' (Section 2(h)) is conducted by the Police to collect evidence.
