Explanation:

- Section 26 of the IPC emphasizes a preference for certain cases to be overseen by specific types of judges to ensure fairness and sensitivity.

- Option 1: A woman

- In specific offences, especially those relating to sexual crimes or violence against women, it's recommended that cases are tried by a woman judge. This ensures sensitivity and understanding during proceedings.

Correct Answer

- Option 2: Judicial Magistrate of First Class

- While these magistrates handle various significant offences, there's no special stipulation in section 26 for them to exclusively try offences under sections 276 and 376A to 376D.

- Option 3: Chief Judicial Magistrate

- They have higher authority but aren't specified in section 26 for these offences.

- Option 4: A High Court Judge

- High Court judges usually handle appeals or serious matters, not directly specified for these cases in this section.
