Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

When the limitation period expires on a day on which the court is closed, Section 517 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 471 CrPC) permits the court to take cognizance on the day it reopens. This prevents closure of the court from defeating action on the final day. It does not allow an arbitrary later date or require waiting until the end of the new week.
