Section 28 of the Banning of Unregulated Deposit Schemes Act, 2019 begins with the phrase:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 28 opens with a non obstante clause, "Notwithstanding anything contained in" the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, because that Code would otherwise decide whether these offences are cognizable and bailable. The non obstante clause lets the Act's own classification prevail.
Current law: the Code has been replaced by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
