The correct answer is A) 30 days of its being made.
Section 105D of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, deals with the power to attach property. It states that an order of seizure or attachment made by an officer under this section “shall not remain in force for more than thirty days from the date on which it is made” unless it is confirmed by the Court.
Section 105D is part of Chapter VII-A of the CrPC, which deals with mutual assistance in certain matters between the courts in India and the courts in contracting states. This specific provision allows an officer conducting an inquiry or investigation to make a provisional order of seizure or attachment, which then requires court confirmation for continuation beyond 30 days.
