The correct answer is A) 30 days.
Section 9(1) of the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968 provides for appeals against orders made under Section 8. It states that the appeal must be filed “within such time… as may be prescribed by the Central Government”. Rule 28(2) of the Central Industrial Security Force Rules, 2001, which are the prescribed rules, explicitly states that an appeal shall be preferred within a period of “thirty days” from the date of service of the order.
The specific time limit for filing an appeal is laid down in the rules framed under the Act. The CISF Rules, 2001 are the relevant rules. Rule 28(2) is precise, specifying “thirty days”. While one month might approximate thirty days, legal timelines are usually specified in days for clarity.
