In terms of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, a criminal court issuing a proclamation requiring a person to appear at a specified time and place on basis of reasons to believe that he is absconding or concealing himself so that a warrant of arrest issued against him cannot be executed may simultaneously order the attachment of any property belonging to such person if it is satisfied that the person is about to

(i) dispose of the whole or part of his property;

(ii) remove the whole or part of his property from the local jurisdiction of the court.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Either threatened disposal of property or threatened removal of property from the court’s jurisdiction is sufficient. The proviso to Section 85(1) BNSS (formerly section 83(1) CrPC) joins these grounds with “or”, allowing attachment at the same time as the proclamation when the court is satisfied of either risk. Both risks need not coexist, but simultaneous attachment requires the specified satisfaction.
