Which of the following statements with regard to the power to arrest by any member of the force under the Central Security Forces Act, 1968 is/are correct ? 1. If any person is found trespassing on the premise of any industrial undertaking referred to in Clauses (b) and (c) of Section 10 of the Act. 2. Any person who commits or attempts to commit a cognizable offence which is likely to involve danger to the life of any person engaged in carrying on any work relating to any undertaking. Select the answer using the code below :

The question pertains to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Act, 1968 (often referred to in exams as the Central Security Forces Act). The powers of the Force are defined under Sections 10, 11, and 12 of this Act.

• Statement 1 is incorrect: According to Section 11(2) of the CISF Act, if any person is found trespassing on the premises of an industrial undertaking (referred to in Section 10), a member of the Force has the power to remove them from the premises, but the Act does not specify the power to arrest for mere trespassing.
• Statement 2 is correct: Under Section 11(1)(iii), any member of the Force may, without a warrant, arrest any person who commits or attempts to commit a cognizable offence which involves or is likely to involve danger to the life of any person engaged in the undertaking.

Since the question specifically asks about the power to arrest, only Statement 2 is correct.
