Under para 221 of U.P. Police Regulations, who has power to expunge the names of the offender from absconded register?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Paragraph 221 of the U.P. Police Regulations empowers the "District Magistrate" to order the name of an offender triable in his district to be expunged from the absconders' register where the offence is too insignificant to continue the search, except offences triable exclusively by the Court of Session. The Superintendent's power to expunge is a separate one under paragraph 220.
