Whom does the Army enrolment limb of section 2(25) of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 expressly include as a “soldier” when read with the General Clauses Act, 1897?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 2(25) still prints a reference to the earlier Army law. Section 8(1) of the General Clauses Act normally reads a reference to a repealed and re-enacted provision as a reference to its successor unless a different intention appears. The Army Act, 1950 supplies the corresponding enrolment provisions, and the Stamp Act retains its rank limit.
Option feedback
Option A
Section 2(25) includes persons below non-commissioned-officer rank with the required Army enrolment. The current Army enrolment provisions are in the Army Act, 1950.
Option B
The inclusive limb specifies rank below non-commissioned officer, which a commissioned officer does not meet.
Option C
This limb incorporates Army enrolment rather than enrolment under the Air Force Act.
Option D
This limb incorporates Army enrolment rather than enrolment under the Navy Act.
