C Correct answer
Explanation

Section 265E CrPC explicitly mandates that in plea bargaining cases, the judgment must be delivered in open court. This provision ensures transparency and public scrutiny of the plea bargaining process, preventing secret deals between parties. Options A and B are incorrect because courts must deliver judgments publicly, and the parties' agreement itself does not operate as judgment until court approval.
