    Question

    Under Section 5(1), the reference to “any area

    (including Railway areas) in a State, not being a Union territory” primarily signifies that:
    A DSPE powers cannot be exercised in Union territories Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B DSPE powers and jurisdiction are originally confined to Union territories but may be extended by order to areas in States, including railway areas, under the conditions of Section 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C DSPE may act in any State without limitation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D DSPE jurisdiction is limited only to railway areas Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Railway areas are excluded from DSPE jurisdiction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 5(1) recognises that DSPE powers originate in Union territories (under Section 2 and 3) and allows their extension “to any area (including Railway areas) in a State, not being a Union territory,” which, read with Section 6, makes such extension subject to State consent.​
