Explanation:

- Warrant Case: Involves more serious crimes and usually requires formal charges. Withdrawal of the complaint and acquittal without a full trial isn't typically at the Magistrate's discretion.

- Summons Case: Involves less serious offenses. The Magistrate can allow the complainant to withdraw the complaint and acquit the accused more freely.

- Option 3: Both A and B: This suggests that the Magistrate has discretion in both warrant and summons cases, which is not accurate.

- Option 4: Neither A nor B: Indicates no discretion in either case, which isn't true for summons cases.

Answer: Option 2 - Summons case is correct. The Magistrate usually has more discretion in these cases.
