Which one of the following Acts has not been enacted to restrict the Fundamental Rights of forces personnel under Article 33 of the Indian Constitution ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Article 33 of the Constitution of India empowers Parliament to restrict or abrogate Fundamental Rights in their application to members of the Armed Forces, paramilitary forces, and police forces to ensure the proper discharge of their duties and maintenance of discipline. Under Article 33, Parliament has enacted the Army Act (1950), the Police Forces (Restriction of Rights) Act (1966), and the Border Security Force Act (1968). By contrast, the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 confers operational powers on armed forces in ‘disturbed areas’ rather than restricting personnel rights under Article 33.
