The word “imminent” was omitted from Section 11 (1) (iii), by which of the following amendments of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Act?
Explanation
The word "imminent" was omitted from Section 11(1)(iii) of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Act, 1968, by the Central Industrial Security Force (Amendment) Act, 2009 (Act No. 22 of 2009). Specifically, Section 6(ii) of the 2009 Amendment Act mandated this omission.
Section 11 of the CISF Act deals with the "Power to arrest without warrant." Prior to the 2009 amendment, clause (iii) included the word "imminent" in relation to the danger of committing a cognizable offence. The removal of this word was intended to broaden the scope and flexibility of the Force's power to intervene and arrest individuals suspected of being involved in or about to commit offences against the personnel or property they are mandated to protect, without being restricted by the strict legal interpretation of "imminence."
