Sub-section (2) of section 26 of the Police Act, 1861 applies provisions of:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 26(2) applies "the provisions of section 525 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1882" to property detained under the section. That reference has passed to the later criminal procedure codes and now points to section 505 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the power to sell perishable property (formerly section 459 CrPC, 1973). Neither the penal code, the law of evidence nor the Civil Procedure Code is applied.
