Which of the following powers of a civil court is specifically granted to the competent authority and Appellate Tribunal under Section 68R of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Clause (a) of section 68R NDPS Act lists "summoning and enforcing the attendance of any person and examining him on oath" among the civil-court powers given to the competent authority and the Appellate Tribunal, alongside discovery of documents and evidence on affidavits. Sentencing, anticipatory bail and injunctions are not in the list, and section 68Q bars injunctions against action under Chapter VA.
