      Question

      Section 33 of the Act provides protection from legal

      proceedings for actions taken in good faith. Who are the persons protected by this provision?
      A Only the Central Government officials who established the Tribunals Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only the Recovery Officers for acts done in execution of certificates Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only the Presiding Officer and Chairperson for their judicial orders Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D The Central Government and Recovery Officers only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E The Central Government, the Presiding Officer, the Chairperson of the Appellate Tribunal, and the Recovery Officer - for anything done or intended to be done in good faith in pursuance of the Act or rules or orders thereunder Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 33 provides that no suit, prosecution, or other legal proceeding shall lie against: the Central Government; or the Presiding Officer of a Tribunal; or the Chairperson of an Appellate Tribunal; or the Recovery Officer - for anything which is in good faith done or intended to be done in pursuance of the Act or any rule or order made thereunder. This is the classic 'good faith' immunity provision found in most quasi-judicial legislation, protecting official action from vexatious litigation. The protection covers both completed acts (done) and intended acts (intended to be done), providing broad immunity to all key functionaries of the DRT system.
