Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 63 NDPS Act requires the court to decide liability to confiscation, and under sub-section (2) it may do so even where the offender "is not known or cannot be found", after hearing claimants. Confiscation is neither automatic on seizure nor left to the seizing officer, and under sub-section (1) it does not wait for a conviction.
