      Consider the following statements regarding period of

      limitation for prosecution under PCA, 1988: Statement 1: No offence under PCA can be prosecuted after 7 years from commission. Statement 2: The limitation period can be extended beyond 7 years in certain circumstances. Statement 3: If offence involves continuous misconduct, limitation period may run from last act. Statement 4: Sanction being granted within 7 years extends the limitation period. Which statements are correct?
      A Statements 1 and 4 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      7-year limit applies but extensions are available—Statement 1 is partially incorrect. Extensions are possible—Statement 2 is correct. Continuous misconduct extends period—Statement 3 is correct. Sanction timing is distinct from limitation—Statement 4 is incorrect. Statements 2 and 3 are correct.
