Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 7(1)(a) NSA, 1980 directs the report on an absconding person to "a Metropolitan Magistrate or a Judicial Magistrate of the first class having jurisdiction in the place where the said person ordinarily resides". It is a judicial magistrate of his place of residence, not a police officer, a Sessions Judge or an Executive Magistrate.
