Which one of the following statements is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Armed Forces (Emergency Duties) Act, 1947, empowers the Central Government to declare any service in a State as a service of vital importance to the community via notification [2]. According to Section 2(1) of the Act, such a notification remains in force for only one month in the first instance, though it may be extended from time to time by subsequent notifications [2]. Therefore, the statement claiming the notification remains valid for six months is incorrect. Once such a declaration is made, it becomes the duty of all personnel subject to the Army Act, 1950, the Air Force Act, 1950, or the Navy Act, 1957, to obey commands from superior officers regarding employment in that service [2]. These commands are legally deemed lawful under the respective service acts to ensure the maintenance of essential services during emergencies [2].
