Under the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946, can the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) exercise powers in any area of a State without State Government consent?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 6 requires State consent for the ordinary section 5 route outside "railway area" and Union territories. State of West Bengal v. CPDR (2010) also recognises constitutional-court directions for CBI investigation without State consent; an executive extension or urgency claim alone does not replace consent.
