Subject to the other provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, what limitation period is specified in section 514(2)(c) for an offence punishable with imprisonment exceeding one year but not exceeding three years?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 514(2)(c) specifies three years for this punishment band. The one-year period belongs to the band not exceeding one year of imprisonment; two and five years are not the specified period. The general bar is subject to other BNSS provisions, including extension under section 519, so it does not exclude every delayed prosecution.

One year is the period when imprisonment does not exceed one year, not the band stated.
Option B
Two years is not the period in subsection (2)(c).
Option C
Correct: three years is specified for imprisonment exceeding one year but not exceeding three years.
Option D
Five years is not the period in subsection (2)(c).
