Accepted Answer

C. {'text': 'The case has been committed to it by a competent Magistrate as required by Sections 193 and 194 of the Code', 'label': 'C'}

1. Sections 193 and 194 CrPC bar the **Court of Session** from taking cognizance of any offence as a court of original jurisdiction.
2. The only gateway to its jurisdiction is **committal by a competent Magistrate**.
3. After committal, Additional Sessions Judges and Assistant Sessions Judges try such cases as the High Court may direct or the Sessions Judge may make over to them.
4. Requests by the accused or executive notifications cannot substitute for the committal under section 209/193.
