      Question

      Statement I: Section 1(2) of the DSPE Act provides that the Act extends to the whole of India. Statement II: Section 2(1) limits the original investigative jurisdiction of the Delhi Special Police Establishment to Union territories, in respect of offences notified under Section 3. Choose the correct option:

      A Both I and II are incorrect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B I is correct, II is incorrect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C I is incorrect, II is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Both I and II are correct and consistent with the scheme of the Act Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Both I and II are correct but mutually inconsistent Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 1(2) states that the DSPE Act “extends to the whole of India,” while Section 2(1) provides that the Central Government may constitute the DSPE “for the investigation in any Union territory of offences notified under section 3,” so the Act has pan‑India extent but the original investigative jurisdiction is territorially anchored in Union territories, consistent with later extension via Section 5.​
