Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 528 BNSS (formerly section 482 CrPC) expressly preserves the High Court's inherent power to give effect to orders under the Sanhita, prevent abuse of court process and secure the ends of justice. Sessions and other subordinate criminal courts exercise the powers conferred on them by statute. The statutory saving of inherent power in this question belongs to the High Court.
