Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The prescribed target is one year from the date the Special Court takes cognizance of the offence. Section 35(2) qualifies the direction with as far as possible, so it should not be described as an automatic expiry of the court's power to continue the trial. The separate thirty-day provision concerns recording the child's evidence, not completing the entire case.
