The police wish to arrest each of the following persons for an offence punishable with imprisonment of up to two years. Under section 35(7) of the BNSS, whose arrest needs the prior permission of an officer not below the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 35(7) of the BNSS requires the permission of an officer not below the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police where the offence is punishable with less than three years and the person "is infirm or is above sixty years of age". The two conditions are alternatives, so "Rukmini, aged 64, who is in good health" qualifies by age alone. Being a first-time arrestee, a government servant or a frequent traveller does not attract the rule.
