When a person ceases to be a member of the Central Industrial Security Force, they are required to surrender all official property and documents issued to them during their service. This includes their certificate of appointment, issued arms, and official clothing. An appreciation letter, being a personal recognition or commendation, is not official property to be returned and is typically kept by the individual.

Official items like appointment certificates, arms, and clothing are issued for duty and must be returned upon ceasing service, whereas personal commendations like appreciation letters are retained by the individual.

The requirement to surrender official items upon leaving service is standard procedure in all government departments and security forces to ensure accountability for government property.

Members of the Central Industrial Security Force, including supervisory officers, are appointed by the Central Government. Their conditions of service, including disciplinary proceedings, are governed by the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968, and the Rules framed thereunder (e.g., CISF Rules, 2001). These rules are essentially “Rules applicable to the officers of the Central Government of the corresponding class” as CISF is a Central Armed Police Force and its personnel are central government employees.

Disciplinary matters for CISF personnel are governed by the specific Act and Rules applicable to the Force, which fall under the broader category of rules for central government employees of their status.

While the Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules provide a general code of conduct for central government employees, the specific procedures for disciplinary action against members of a force like CISF are detailed in their own Act and Rules. These force-specific rules are formulated by the Central Government and apply to the members of the force as central government employees of a specific class. The National Security Act and Indian Penal Code are not the primary governing laws for service conduct and disciplinary proceedings.

According to Section 14(2) of the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968, any person arrested by a member of the Force shall be made over without delay to a police officer or shall be taken to the nearest police station.

The primary procedure after arrest by CISF is to hand over the arrested person to the local police without unnecessary delay.

Section 14 of the Act outlines the duty of members of the Force to prevent breaches of rules and regulations and to make arrests. Subsection (2) specifically addresses the handling of arrested individuals. Option A is incorrect as CISF is not authorized to keep individuals in custody for 48 hours for general interrogation like the police might, their power is mainly for handing over. Options B and C are not the mandated procedure for an arrest under the Act.
