Dear Querist,
In respect of your query, I am of the following view:
Section 3 of PDPP Act 1984 > Cognizable > Bailable > Trial by Magistrate of 1st Class (Punishment 6 months to 5 years)
Section 4 of PDPP Act 1984 > Cognizable > Non-Bailable > Sessions Trial. (Punishment 1 year to 11 years).
Trust this would suffice. However, please check STate ammendment in that regad.
