Who among the following does not have the power to make an order under Section 98 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, for restoration of abducted females ?
Explanation
Section 98 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973, provides the power to compel the restoration of abducted females. It states that upon a complaint made on oath regarding the abduction or unlawful detention of a woman, or a female child under the age of eighteen years for any unlawful purpose, certain magistrates may issue an order for her immediate restoration.
The specific authorities empowered to make such an order under this section are:

- Magistrate of the first class
The Superintendent of Police is not vested with this power under Section 98. Therefore, the Superintendent of Police cannot make an order for the restoration of abducted females under this specific provision.
