Which of the following is true under Section 28 of the Arms Act, 1959?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 28 of the Arms Act, 1959 punishes whoever "makes or attempts to make any use whatsoever" of a firearm or imitation firearm with intent to resist or prevent lawful arrest or detention. An attempt is enough and an imitation firearm is enough, so no prohibited firearm is needed, and the offence carries imprisonment as well as fine, with a maximum term below ten years.
