Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 482 of the BNSS (formerly section 438 CrPC) enables a person who apprehends arrest on an accusation of having committed a non-bailable offence to seek anticipatory bail from the High Court or the Court of Session, so it is invoked "in cases of non-bailable offences". In bailable offences bail is a matter of right under section 478, so anticipatory bail has no role there. Section 482(4) excludes accusations under section 65 and section 70(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
