Explanation:

Sure, let’s break these sections down:

- Section 262 Cr.P.C. – This actually deals with the procedure for summary trials, telling the court how to handle them, but doesn’t itself grant the power to try cases summarily.

- Section 304 Cr.P.C. – This is about legal aid for accused persons in certain cases. It has nothing to do with summary trials.

- Section 260 Cr.P.C. – Here’s what matters: *this section is about the power to try cases summarily.* It says which Magistrates can do it, and what types of offences they can try this way.

- Section 201 Cr.P.C. – This deals with how to handle cases when a Magistrate returns a complaint for lack of jurisdiction—totally unrelated to summary trials.

So, in short:

Section 260 Cr.P.C. is the right answer.
