What is the subject matter of Section 7 of the Jammu & Kashmir Police Act?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 7(1) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police Act, Samvat 1983 vests the administration of the police throughout the general police district in "an officer styled the Inspector General", with such Deputy or Assistant Inspectors General as the Government specifies. Appointment of subordinate officers falls under section 8 and is made by police officers, not by the District Magistrate.
