Offences under this Act are:

The classification of offenses as cognizable & non-bailable indicates the seriousness of the crimes under 'this Act'.

• Cognizable offenses allow police to arrest an accused person without a warrant, signifying that the offense is serious enough to warrant immediate police action.
• Non-bailable offenses mean that granting bail is not a matter of right for the accused but is at the discretion of the court, usually reserved for more severe crimes.

This combination suggests the Act deals with significant criminal activities.

• Bailable & cognizable or Non-cognizable & bailable offenses are generally less severe, with different procedural implications for arrest and bail.
• Civil in nature implies a dispute between private parties, not a criminal offense against the state.
