\nThe question asks which offences *do not* fall in the category where the prescribed authority *requires* them to be tried by an ordinary Criminal Court. Offences not connected with the offender’s duties as an enrolled member (B) are generally already under the jurisdiction of ordinary criminal courts by default, not by specific requirement of the CISF authority to *send* it there.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe CISF Act typically provides for internal trial (by Commandants with Magistrate powers or other internal mechanisms) for offences committed by members, especially those related to duty or discipline. However, it also allows for serious offences or those unrelated to duty to be tried by ordinary criminal courts. The provision allowing the prescribed authority to *require* trial by an ordinary court usually applies to offences that *could* have been tried internally but are deemed more suitable for external trial.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOffences committed while absent from duty (A) or those connected with duties but petty (C) are often disciplinary in nature and could potentially be tried internally or, depending on rules, sent to ordinary courts. Option D describes a scenario where the internal mechanism is unavailable, necessitating trial by an ordinary court. Option B represents offences outside the scope of the member’s official duties, which are naturally subject to the general criminal law and jurisdiction of ordinary courts. The CISF authority would hand over the person to the police, not *require* the ordinary court to try it; that’s its inherent jurisdiction.
