Certain offences can be tried by an ordinary Criminal Court having jurisdiction in the matter, if the prescribed authority under whose jurisdiction the offence was committed so requires. Which of the following offences do not fall in this category?

Under Rule 152 of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Rules, 2001, the prescribed authority (such as a DIG or IG) has the discretion to decide whether an offence committed by a member of the Force should be tried by an ordinary criminal court. According to standard administrative guidelines and Force manuals, certain categories of offences are typically handed over to ordinary courts, including:

• Offences committed while the offender is absent from duty (Option A).
• Offences not connected with the offender's official duties (Option B).
• Offences involving civilians or those where the Commandant recuses himself/herself (Option D).

However, if an offence is connected with the offender's official duties and is a petty offence, it is generally handled internally through departmental proceedings or Force Courts to maintain organizational discipline. Such offences do not fall into the category of cases referred to ordinary criminal courts at the discretion of the prescribed authority.
