Which section of the BNSS mandates the court to proceed with the trial in-absentia when a person declared as a Proclaimed Offender ?
Answer: D
The provision is Section 356.
Section 356 of the BNSS provides that when a person declared a proclaimed offender has absconded to evade trial and there is no immediate prospect of arresting him, the Court may proceed with the inquiry or trial, and pronounce judgment, in his absence, after certain safeguards such as notices and the appointment of an advocate for him.
Sections 299, 175 and 178 deal with other matters (Sections 175 and 178 with investigation), so none of them provides for trial in absentia of proclaimed offenders.
