Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under section 83 CrPC, the court issuing a proclamation under section 82 may, for reasons recorded, order attachment of the absconder's property at any time after the issue of the proclamation, which may be before or after its publication; under the proviso, attachment may be ordered simultaneously with the issue of the proclamation where the person is about to dispose of or remove his property. Each listed timing is therefore permissible in its circumstances, so "All of the given options are correct", with attachment "before publication" meaning after the proclamation has been issued but before it is published.

Current law: From 1 July 2024, for proceedings governed by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, the corresponding provisions are sections 84–85. The tested rule is retained. Section 531 saves specified pending proceedings under the earlier Code.
