Explanation
According to Section 2(1)(e) (or 2(1)(ee) in amended versions) of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Act, 1968, the term 'Managing Director' is defined in relation to an industrial undertaking.
The Act defines a 'Managing Director' as the person who exercises control over the affairs of that undertaking. The definition is inclusive and explicitly states that such a person may be called by several names, including:
- Managing Agent
- General Manager
- Manager
- Chief Executive Officer
The statutory text uses the phrasing "whether called a managing agent, general manager, manager, chief executive officer or by any other name," which implies that the functional role of exercising control is the deciding factor, regardless of the formal designation. Since all four terms listed in the question are specifically mentioned in the Act, option D is the correct answer.
