of <h1>Section 196: Magistrate Must Investigate Deaths, Disappearances, or Custodial Rape Allegations Alongside Police, Allow Family Attendance.</h1> Section 196 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, mandates that a Magistrate conduct an inquiry into the cause of death in specific cases, such as when a person dies or disappears, or when rape is alleged while in custody. The Magistrate has the authority to hold such inquiries alongside police investigations and may exercise powers equivalent to those in criminal inquiries. The Magistrate must record evidence, may order the exhumation of bodies if necessary, and should inform the deceased's relatives, allowing them to attend the inquiry. The body must be forwarded for examination within 24 hours unless impractical.
