Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
PMLA s.35(5) deems Appellate Tribunal proceedings judicial proceedings within the meaning of the provisions on punishment for false evidence and intentional insult or interruption to a public servant sitting in a judicial proceeding, now sections 229 and 267 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly sections 193 and 228 IPC, which the sub-section cites; under section 8 of the General Clauses Act, 1897 the reference is read as one to the BNS). Sections 45 and 49 BNS deal with abetment, sections 227 and 228 BNS define giving and fabricating false evidence, and sections 101 and 103 BNS define and punish murder.
