Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 10(1) of the Bihar Police Act, 2007, as substituted by the Bihar Police (Amendment) Act, 2022, provides that within the Range, the transfer of police personnel from Inspector to Constable level from one district to another is made by a committee headed by the Regional Deputy Inspector General of Police/Regional Inspector General of Police, with the Superintendents of Police of the respective districts as members (formerly, the section also provided a zone-to-zone transfer committee of the Additional Director General of Police and the zonal Inspector General; the zone tier was dropped in 2022).
The District Magistrate and the Chief Secretary have no place on this committee. The Director General of Police constitutes separate committees, with State Government approval, for inter-regional transfers and for inter-transfer between districts and units.
