The correct answer is C) Superintendent of Police.
Section 98 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, empowers a District Magistrate, a Sub-divisional Magistrate, or a Magistrate of the first class to make an order for the immediate restoration of abducted females. The Superintendent of Police is not listed among the authorities who can issue such an order under this specific section.
While the police play a crucial role in investigating cases of abduction and assisting in the recovery of victims, the power to issue a judicial order for restoration under Section 98 CrPC rests specifically with certain classes of Magistrates. Other sections of the CrPC deal with the powers and duties of the police in apprehending suspects and recovering persons.

Section 96(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, states that any person having an interest in any newspaper, book, or other document, in respect of which a declaration of forfeiture under Section 95 has been made, may, within two months from the date of publication of such declaration in the Official Gazette, apply to the High Court to set aside such declaration.
– The prescribed time limit for applying to the High Court against a Section 95 forfeiture declaration is two months.
– The time starts running from the date the declaration is published in the Official Gazette.
Section 96 provides a legal remedy against potentially infringing government action against publications, allowing a judicial review by the High Court.

Section 95(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, empowers the State Government to declare forfeiture of “any newspaper, or book or any document” which appears to contain matter whose publication is punishable under certain sections of the Indian Penal Code (like sedition, promoting enmity, obscenity, etc.). Based on this:
– 3. Newspapers and books: Explicitly mentioned and covered by Section 95.
– 4. Pieces of metal made in contravention of the Metal Tokens Act, 1889: These relate to counterfeiting currency, which is not the subject of Section 95. Not covered.
– 1. Paintings and drawings: While these can be the *content* that makes a document objectionable (e.g., obscene drawings in a book), Section 95 refers to the forfeiture of the *medium* (“newspaper, book, or document”). Whether a standalone painting or drawing qualifies as a “document” under this specific section can be debated, but the focus is on publications.
– 2. Photographs or other visible representations: Similar to paintings/drawings, these can be objectionable content. If considered a type of “document” or “visible representation” disseminated as a publication (like a poster or a photograph in a newspaper), they can be covered. Option 2 is a broader category that likely includes items like photographs disseminated as publications. Given the options and typical interpretation focusing on disseminated materials, items 2 (Photographs or other visible representations when they function as publications/documents) and 3 (Newspapers and books) are covered.
– Section 95 allows forfeiture of publications containing seditious, obscene, or other objectionable matter.
– The items covered are explicitly “newspaper, or book or any document”.
– Items not related to publications/documents containing such matter are not covered.
The State Government’s power under Section 95 is subject to challenge in the High Court under Section 96 of CrPC. The definition of ‘document’ can be broad, but in the context of Section 95 focusing on ‘publications’, it typically refers to materials disseminated in print or similar form. The distinction between 1 and 2 in this question, leading to the selection of D, suggests a specific interpretation where disseminated visual representations like photographs/posters (covered by 2) are included, while perhaps standalone art pieces (covered by 1) might not be, under this specific section’s scope.

Section 92(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, states that if any document, parcel or other thing in the custody of the postal or telegraph authority is required for the purpose of any investigation, inquiry, trial or other proceeding, a District Magistrate, Chief Judicial Magistrate or Court of Session or High Court may require the authority to deliver it, or issue a search-warrant for it if delivery is refused. Among the options, only District Magistrate is listed in Section 92 as being authorized to issue such a warrant or order.
– Power to requisition or search for documents/parcels in postal/telegraph custody is vested in specific judicial and executive authorities.
– Section 92 lists District Magistrate, Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court of Session, or High Court.
– Sub-divisional Magistrates and Judicial Magistrates below CJM are not empowered under this section.
This provision allows law enforcement and courts to access communications or items sent via postal or telegraph services when necessary for legal proceedings, balancing privacy concerns with the needs of justice.

Section 94(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, allows a court or a Magistrate to issue a search warrant for a place suspected to contain stolen property, forged documents, counterfeit coin, valuable security or article which there is reason to believe to be counterfeit, false seals, false stamps, or counterfeit currency notes. Obscene objects (Option C) and controversial books (Option D) are not included in this specific list of items covered by a search warrant under Section 94.
– Section 94 targets specific types of illegal articles related to property crimes and counterfeiting.
– The list in Section 94 is exhaustive for the purpose of search under this specific provision.
– Obscene objects and controversial books fall under different categories of potentially objectionable material, often dealt with under separate provisions or laws (e.g., obscenity laws, sedition laws).
While obsolete objects and controversial books might be subject to seizure under other sections of CrPC or specific acts (e.g., Section 95 CrPC for forfeiture of objectionable publications), they are not the articles for which a search warrant is issued specifically under Section 94. Both C and D are technically not covered by the list in Section 94, but option C (Obscene objects) represents a distinct category of prohibited material often addressed by specific laws.

The Employees Compensation Act, 1923 (formerly known as the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923) applies to employees in certain hazardous employments. Section 2(1)(dd) read with Schedule II defines who is included as an ’employee’. However, certain categories are typically excluded. Members of the Armed Forces of the Union are generally excluded from the purview of civilian labour laws, including the Employees Compensation Act, as they are governed by their own specific service rules and acts.
– The Act provides for compensation to employees and their dependants in case of injury or death arising out of and in the course of employment.
– Certain categories of persons are explicitly excluded from the definition of ’employee’ under the Act.
– Members of the Armed Forces are a common exclusion from such civilian labour laws.
Persons covered under the Act include those engaged in factories, mines, plantations, construction work, motor transport undertakings, aircraft crew, seamen, etc., as listed in Schedule II. The Act does not apply to employees covered by the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948.

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a network layer protocol used to find the hardware address (MAC address) associated with a given Internet Protocol (IP) address on a local network. When a device wants to send an IP packet to another device on the same network and only knows its IP address, it uses ARP to discover the corresponding MAC address.
– ARP maps Layer 3 (IP) addresses to Layer 2 (MAC) addresses.
– IP is for logical addressing and routing.
– ICMP is for network diagnostics and control messages.
– FTP is for file transfer.
RARP (Reverse ARP) performs the opposite function, mapping a MAC address to an IP address, though it is less commonly used now, largely superseded by protocols like BOOTP and DHCP.

Suspension, in the context of labour law, typically refers to a temporary removal of an employee from duty, often as a disciplinary measure pending an inquiry or as a punishment. Termination of service as a result of non-renewal of a contract of employment is generally distinct from suspension; it is simply the cessation of the employment relationship upon the expiry or non-renewal of the fixed-term contract, or potentially considered retrenchment depending on the specific circumstances and law. The provided definition for Suspension is therefore incorrect.
– Lockout: Temporary closing of workplace by employer (correct definition).
– Lay off: Employer’s inability/refusal to give employment due to specific reasons like shortage of material, power, etc. (correct definition).
– Suspension: Temporary removal from duty (incorrectly defined in option C).
– Closure: Permanent closing down of workplace (correct definition).
These terms are defined and regulated under various labour laws in India, such as the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Understanding the precise legal definitions is crucial for interpreting labour relations and disputes.

Optical fibers transmit data using light signals, offering significantly higher bandwidth and speed compared to traditional copper cables like coaxial and twisted-pair cables, or wireless methods like infrared rays which are typically limited to short distances and lower speeds for general networking.
– Transmission media speed varies greatly depending on technology.
– Optical fiber is the fastest among the options listed for data communication over distance.
Typical speeds range from Mbps for older twisted pair/coaxial to Gbps and even Tbps for optical fiber. Infrared is primarily used for very short-range communication like remote controls or device-to-device data transfer over a few meters.

MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) is a single-user, single-tasking operating system. This means it was designed to be used by one person at a time and could run only one program at a time.
– Multi-user operating systems allow multiple users to access and use the system concurrently.
– UNIX, Windows 2000, and even later versions like Windows XP (though primarily desktop OS, they have features like Fast User Switching and support for services running under different users, and Windows 2000 was a significant multi-user capable OS designed for servers/workstations) are capable of multi-user operation to varying extents.
– MS-DOS strictly lacks multi-user capabilities.
Modern operating systems like Windows (NT-based versions onwards), macOS, and Linux/UNIX are inherently multi-user, although their implementation and typical usage scenarios differ (e.g., desktop vs. server).
