A member of the Central Industrial Security Force can seek protection for an act committed in the course of bonafide discharge of his/her duty under which one of the following Acts ?
Explanation
A member of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) can seek protection under Section 21 of The Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968. This section, titled "Protection of action taken under this Act," provides legal immunity for acts committed in the bonafide discharge of duties. It states that in any suit or proceeding against a member for an act done in the discharge of duty, it is lawful for them to plead that the act was performed under the authority of a warrant or order issued by a competent authority. If such a plea is proved by producing the warrant or order, the member is discharged from liability. While the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) provides general protection to public servants and armed forces members, the CISF Act is the specific statutory legislation governing the force's conduct and protections.
