Kunal fears arrest on an accusation of gang rape of a 16-year-old girl, an offence under section 70(2) of the BNS, and applies to the Court of Session for anticipatory bail. Under section 482(4) of the BNSS, which statement is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 482(4) provides that nothing in the section applies to the arrest of a person on an accusation under BNS section 65 and section 70(2). Anticipatory bail is therefore unavailable here from either the Court of Session or the High Court, and neither conditions nor the victim's family's consent can change that.
