Explanation:

- Section 156(2) of the CrPC says proceedings in any case are not to be set aside just because there was an irregularity or error in the investigation conducted by a police officer.

- This means if the investigation is not done in a perfect or regular manner (irregularity), the case or trial cannot be quashed for that alone.

- However, if there is "illegality," which means a fundamental violation of legal provisions (e.g., lack of jurisdiction or blatant abuse of process), the law does not protect such investigations.

- So, only irregularities are "cured" and not illegalities.

- Option 1 and Option 4 are very close, but the correct one is:

Option 4: only (a) and not (b).
