The correct answer is B) Section 11 of the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968.
Section 11 of the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968 outlines the powers of members of the Force. Specifically, Section 11(3) grants enrolled members the power to arrest any person without warrant in certain specified circumstances, including those committing offences under the CISF Act itself or interfering with protected property. Section 11(1) also confers upon members certain powers of a police officer.
Section 10 provides protection for acts done in good faith. Section 12 deals with the power to search without warrant. Section 13 deals with power to take action against persons obstructing inquiry or search. Thus, Section 11 is the primary section empowering CISF members to make arrests, including without warrant under specific conditions mentioned within that section.
