Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 2(28)(b), (c) and (d) respectively cover Judges, specified court officers including liquidators, and panchayat members assisting a Court or public servant. Mere office as secretary of an ordinary cooperative society is not itself a listed category. A person may qualify through a separate capacity or under another statute.

Section 2(28)(b) includes every Judge, including a person empowered to perform adjudicatory functions.

Section 2(28)(d) expressly includes a panchayat member assisting a Court or public servant.

The office alone is not enumerated; a separate government-service status or special statutory definition must be considered separately.
