Members of uniformed forces like the CISF are governed by their specific Acts and Rules (CISF Act, 1968, and CISF Rules, 2001), which cover aspects like service conditions, discipline, pay, and allowances. General labour laws like the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, are typically not applicable to the members of such forces. This is because their service conditions are distinct and regulated by special legislation tailored to the needs of disciplined forces.
– CISF members are governed by the CISF Act and Rules.
– General labour laws, such as the Payment of Wages Act, usually do not apply to uniformed forces.
Acts like the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, are criminal or social laws of general applicability and generally apply to members of uniformed forces, just as they apply to other citizens, unless specific exemptions are provided within those Acts or the force’s governing Act (which is not the case for these Acts concerning CISF members’ basic liability). The CISF Act provides for disciplinary actions in addition to, or instead of, prosecution under general law in some cases, but it does not exempt members from these Acts entirely.

Dispersal of assembly by use of civil force may not be commanded by an Executive Magistrate or Officer-in-Charge of a police station merely because an assembly of five or more persons is likely to invite more persons to join.
– Section 129(1) of CrPC empowers an Executive Magistrate or Officer-in-Charge of a police station to command dispersal of an unlawful assembly, or any assembly of five or more persons likely to cause a disturbance of the public peace.
– Option A (unlawful assembly) and Option B (assembly of five or more persons likely to cause a disturbance of public peace) are explicit grounds for commanding dispersal.
– Option D describes a situation after a command has been given, which may lead to the use of force, but the initial command is based on the assembly being unlawful or likely to disturb public peace.
– Option C, assembly likely to invite more persons to join, is not a direct ground for ordering dispersal using civil force under Section 129(1) unless this gathering or its potential increase also makes it unlawful or likely to cause a disturbance of public peace.
– Section 129 of CrPC pertains to the use of civil force to disperse assemblies. If an assembly, after being commanded to disperse, does not disperse, or conducts itself in a manner showing a determination not to disperse, the Magistrate or Officer-in-Charge may proceed to disperse it by force (Section 129(2)).

– Strict regard to decency is mandated during such searches.

An NDRF Battalion is not located in Himachal Pradesh.
As of current information, the 12 battalions of NDRF are strategically located in various states for quick response. The locations include Assam, West Bengal, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh (two battalions), Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, and Arunachal Pradesh. Himachal Pradesh is not one of the states hosting a primary NDRF battalion headquarters.
NDRF battalions are based on personnel drawn from other CAPFs and are deployed in locations based on vulnerability profiles and logistical considerations to cover different regions of the country effectively during disasters. While Himachal Pradesh is prone to disasters, it does not host an NDRF battalion itself, though battalions from neighbouring states would cover it.

The statement “The superintendence of CISF vests with DG, CISF” is not correct.
For Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) like CISF, the overall superintendence vests with the Central Government, specifically the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The Director General (DG) is the head of the force and is responsible for its command, administration, and day-to-day supervision, but under the superintendence of the Central Government.
The DG exercises powers of command and supervision over the Force, but these powers are exercised under the overall authority and superintendence of the Central Government. The term “superintendence” implies ultimate authority and oversight, which lies with the government that created and controls the force.
