A Special Court under Section 28 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 can also try offences:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 28(2) requires the Special Court, while trying a POCSO offence, also to try an offence with which the accused may lawfully be charged at the same trial. It adds no High Court sanction or accused-consent condition for that joint trial; applicable independent requirements of the other offence remain governed by its own law.
