The correct statement is that Senior Commandants and Commandants have the power to dismiss enrolled members of the CISF except for Inspectors.

This question relates to the disciplinary powers vested in different ranks of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) under the CISF Act and Rules. The specific powers for imposing penalties, including dismissal, suspension, withholding promotion, etc., are outlined in the CISF Rules, 2001, particularly Rule 40 and Schedule II.

Schedule II of the CISF Rules, 2001 lists the competent authorities for imposing various penalties on enrolled members (Constable to Subedar). According to this schedule, Commandants are competent to impose major penalties including dismissal on Constables and Head Constables. Senior Commandants are competent to impose major penalties including dismissal on Constables, Head Constables, Assistant Sub-Inspectors, and Sub-Inspectors. Neither Commandants nor Senior Commandants are listed as competent authorities for the dismissal of Inspectors. Therefore, the statement that they can dismiss enrolled members except Inspectors is correct. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because disciplinary powers for suspension, withholding promotion, removal from office of distinction, and deprivation of special emoluments are delegated to various ranks, not exclusively as stated in those options.
