Which of the following statements is TRUE under Section 12 of the National Security Act, 1980?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 12(2) NSA, 1980 provides that where the Board reports no sufficient cause, the appropriate Government "shall revoke the detention order" and release the person forthwith. Under section 12(1) a sufficient-cause report only permits confirmation, and the Board has no power of its own to release.
