Under Section 53 of the BNSS, 2023, regarding the medical examination of an arrested female person, which of the following statements is correct?

Explanation: Section 53(1) of the BNSS explicitly provides: "Provided further that where the arrested person is a fema the supervision of a female medical officer, and in case the female medical officer is not available, by a female registered medical practitioner." This provision mandates gender-sensitive medical examination procedures to protect the dignity and rights of female arrested persons. This reflects constitutional protection and gender justice principles. The provision does not permit deviation based on practical convenience or Magistrate's permission—only an unavailability exception exists, and even then, a female registered medical practitioner must conduct the examination.
