Which of the following statements is correct under Section 136 of the Code on Social Security, 2020?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 136(3) of the Code on Social Security, 2020 (formerly section 11(2) of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972) bars any court inferior to a Metropolitan Magistrate or a Judicial Magistrate of the first class from trying offences punishable under Chapter XII, so a second class Magistrate cannot try them. Under section 136(1), cognizance is taken only on a complaint by an aggrieved person or the notified officer, not on a police report, and section 136(4) expressly allows a single complaint by more than one aggrieved person where they are aggrieved by the same or a similar offence.
