Section 3 of the Police Act, 1861 reflects which principle of policing?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 3 vests "the superintendence of the police" in the State Government. This is central executive control within the State, rather than an allocation to municipal bodies or the Union Government. Other forms of lawful judicial oversight are distinct from statutory superintendence.
