Section 18 of the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958 also saves provisions of which statute?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 18 expressly names “sub-section (2) of section 5 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947”, rather than the other listed statutes. The 1947 Act was later repealed by section 30 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, subject to that section’s savings; this historical cross-reference does not preserve it against the later repeal.
