What is the nature of offences such as violation of duty or wilful breach or neglect of any rule or regulations or lawful orders of a supervisory officer under Section 18 of the CISF Act, 1968 ?
Explanation
According to Section 18 of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Act, 1968, offences such as violation of duty, wilful breach, neglect of rules, or cowardice by a member of the Force are punishable with imprisonment up to six months.
Specifically, Section 18(2) explicitly states: "Notwithstanding anything contained in the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, an offence punishable under this section shall be cognizable and bailable."
- Cognizable: A police officer may arrest the offender without a warrant.
- Bailable: The accused has a right to be released on bail.
This provision ensures that while the breach of discipline is serious enough to allow immediate arrest, it remains a bailable offence under the statutory framework of the CISF.
