Which section of BNSS provides absconding accused charged with an offence punished with 10 years or more can be declared as a proclaimed offender?
Answer: D
The provision is Section 84 of the BNSS.
Section 84 deals with proclamation of a person absconding. Where a proclamation is published against a person accused of an offence punishable with imprisonment of ten years or more, imprisonment for life or death, and he fails to appear as required, the court may, after inquiry, declare him a proclaimed offender. The old Code limited this to a list of specified IPC offences; the BNSS widens it to any offence of that gravity.
Sections 34, 40 and 75 of the BNSS deal with other matters of arrest and process, not proclamation.
