Explanation:

- Warrant Case: In a warrant case, which deals with more serious offences, the Magistrate can exercise discretion in legal proceedings but usually adheres to more formal processes. Withdrawal is more regulated.

- Summons Case: Simpler and for less serious offences, the Magistrate can more readily permit withdrawal of a complaint, often leading to the acquittal of the accused.

- Both A and B: This suggests flexibility in both scenarios, but the processes differ for warrant and summons cases.

- Neither A nor B: Suggests no discretion permitted in either case type, which is not accurate.

Option 2: Summons case : The Magistrate may allow withdrawal and acquit the accused more freely.
