Every warrant of arrest issued by a court under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 shall remain in force until it is executed or until it is cancelled by the court which issued it.
– Section 70(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 explicitly states the duration of a warrant of arrest.
– Unlike summons which have a return date, a warrant of arrest does not automatically expire after a certain period unless specifically stated by the court or law in a particular context.
– The warrant remains legally valid and executable until the person is arrested or the court revokes the warrant.
– The options suggesting fixed time periods like one month or three months are incorrect according to Section 70(2).
– A court may cancel a warrant for various reasons, such as the appearance of the accused, a change in circumstances, or on its own motion.

The prescribed minimum explosive capacity of a Suspect Luggage Containment Vehicle (SLCV) deployed at the airport is 3 kg TNT (single use).
– SLCVs are specialized vehicles designed to safely contain and transport luggage or parcels suspected of containing explosives.
– The capacity is measured in terms of TNT equivalent, indicating the amount of explosive energy the containment structure can withstand.
– The specification ensures that the vehicle can mitigate the effects of a potential explosion within the contained item, protecting personnel and airport infrastructure.
– These standards are part of airport security protocols and regulations, often set by aviation security authorities like the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) in India or international bodies.
– The “single use” specification means the vehicle is designed to withstand one such event, and may need repair or replacement after containing an explosion of this magnitude.

The correct answer is A. The Suspect Luggage Containment Vehicle (SLCV) is a protection equipment used by Bomb Disposal and Detection System (BDDS) teams.
An SLCV is designed to safely transport a suspect explosive device away from a populated area to a disposal site or a safer location. It provides containment in case of accidental detonation during transport, thereby protecting personnel and the surrounding area.
Stethoscope, Hook and Line Set, and Explosive Vapour Detector are all tools used by BDDS teams, but they fall into different categories: Stethoscope is for listening for mechanical timers (detection/diagnosis), Hook and Line Set is for remote handling/manipulation (operation), and Explosive Vapour Detector is for detecting traces of explosives (detection). Only the SLCV is primarily a protective containment equipment.

The correct answer is D. CCTV systems at airports are installed to ensure all three listed functions: effective surveillance, tamper-proof recording for post-event analysis, and providing live and recorded images.
CCTV is a fundamental component of airport security and surveillance infrastructure. Its purpose is multi-faceted, covering real-time monitoring (live images), recording for investigation and analysis (tamper-proof record, recorded images), and overall situational awareness (effective surveillance).
BCAS mandates comprehensive CCTV coverage of critical areas within airports to enhance security, monitor passenger movement, deter crime, and aid in incident investigation. The system must meet specific technical requirements regarding coverage, recording quality, and data retention.

The correct answer is B. As per BCAS guidelines, the prescribed average norm for random selection of hand search of cabin baggage during pre-embarkation security check is One bag out of every five bags (1 in 5).
Similar to passenger screening, a random hand search of cabin baggage is a mandatory security measure to ensure items not detected by X-ray screening or items prohibited from carriage are identified.
This random check supplements the mandatory X-ray screening of all cabin baggage. The frequency is set by the regulator to maintain a deterrent effect and enhance the overall security process.

The correct answer is C. The mandate of the CISF was broadened to provide security to private sector establishments around the year 2000.
The CISF Act was amended by the Parliament, specifically the CISF (Amendment) Act, 2001, which came into effect from January 15, 2001, to enable CISF deployment in joint venture and private sector industrial undertakings. While the formal amendment was in 2001, the decision to broaden the mandate and the legislative process leading to it were initiated and significantly progressed in 2000. Among the given options, 2000 is the closest year representing this broadening of scope.
This amendment significantly expanded the role of CISF beyond public sector undertakings, allowing private companies to avail of CISF’s security services on a cost-reimbursement basis, especially for critical infrastructure and installations.

The correct answer is C. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) was first inducted for aviation security duties at Jaipur airport.
CISF took over security duties at Jaipur airport on February 3, 2000, on a pilot project basis. Following the success of this pilot, CISF was progressively inducted at other major airports across India.
Prior to CISF, airport security was primarily handled by state police forces. The decision to hand over aviation security to a dedicated central paramilitary force like CISF was taken after the hijacking of IC 814 in December 1999, highlighting the need for a more unified and professional approach to airport security.

The correct answer is C. The prescribed minimum throughput for an In-line Hold Baggage System (HBS) in major airports, as per BCAS guidelines, is typically 1200 bags per hour.
The In-line HBS is an automated system for screening checked baggage for explosives and other prohibited items. A high throughput is necessary to handle the volume of baggage processed at busy airports without causing delays.
The required throughput can vary slightly based on the category and volume of traffic at a specific airport, but 1200 bags/hour is a common minimum standard for ensuring efficient and effective baggage screening operations at medium to large airports.

The correct answer is C. As per BCAS norms, a random pat-down search is required for at least 01 in every 10 passengers during pre-embarkation security check.
This is a specific procedural requirement by BCAS to enhance security by introducing an element of unpredictability and secondary screening for a proportion of passengers, in addition to primary screening methods like metal detectors and body scanners.
The random pat-down search is a crucial layer of security to detect non-metallic items or items concealed in areas not fully covered by technology-based screening methods. The frequency is mandated by the regulator to ensure consistency across airports.
