Explanation

Section 15A of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Act, 1968 (inserted by Act 14 of 1983) imposes restrictions on the fundamental rights of its members, as permitted under Article 33 of the Constitution of India. According to Section 15A(1):

  • Clause (a): Prohibits members from being members of, or associated with, any trade union, labour union, or political association. (Covers statements 1 and 2).
  • Clause (b): Prohibits membership in any society, institution, association, or organisation that is not recognised as part of the Force. (Covers statement 3).
  • Exception: Clause (b) specifically excludes organisations that are of a purely social, recreational, or religious nature. Therefore, being part of such organisations is not restricted. (Statement 4 is an exception).

Thus, statements 1, 2, and 3 represent restrictions, while statement 4 does not.
