Section 79 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 overrides which provision?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
FSSA s.79 empowers a Magistrate to impose enhanced punishment notwithstanding BNSS section 23 (formerly CrPC s.29), which limits the sentences Magistrates may pass. It does not override BNSS s.223 (examination of complainant, formerly CrPC s.200), BNSS s.358 (power to proceed against other persons appearing to be guilty, formerly CrPC s.319) or FSSA s.73.
