Which of the following is not the duty of Probation Officer?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 14 of the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958 lists the duties of a probation officer: to inquire into the circumstances or home surroundings of an accused when the court so directs, to supervise probationers and where necessary try to find them suitable employment, and to advise and assist offenders in paying compensation or costs ordered by the court.

The Act does not make it a duty of the probation officer "To arrange for lodging and boarding of the probationers", so that is the item that is not his duty.
