Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 482 CrPC) preserves the High Court’s inherent power to give effect to orders under the Sanhita, prevent abuse of court process or secure the ends of justice. The specific statutory preservation is not vested in Sessions Courts or Chief Judicial Magistrates merely because they exercise criminal jurisdiction; their express and incidental statutory powers are distinct.
