2. The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947
3. The Indian Penal Code, 1860

Select the correct answer using the code given below :
Explanation
According to Section 20 of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Act, 1968, certain labor and industrial laws are explicitly made non-applicable to the members of the force. The section states that nothing contained in the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, or the Factories Act, 1948 (or any corresponding state law relating to industrial disputes) shall apply to members of the Force.
The Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, however, remains applicable to the members of the CISF. Section 18(3) of the CISF Act clarifies that the provisions of the Act do not prevent any member from being prosecuted under any other law for any offence. As an armed force of the Union, personnel are subject to the general criminal laws of India for any acts amounting to a criminal offence. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 4 are not applicable, making option A the correct choice.
