A
Both 1 and 2
B
1 only
C
Neither 1 nor 2
D
2 only
Correct answer: (d) 2 only
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect because offences under the Public Examinations Act, 2024 are explicitly cognizable, non-bailable, and non-compoundable. Statement 2 is correct since a Delhi court allowed arguments on charges under this Act to proceed without delay during paper leak trials. Thus, only statement 2 is correct.
