      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.​
