      Question

      Under Section 21C, the Authority, Disciplinary

      Committee, Board of Discipline and Director (Discipline) are vested with the powers of a civil court under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 in respect of which matters?
      A Imposing imprisonment and ordering arrest Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Levying taxes and attaching property Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Summoning and examining persons on oath, discovery and production of documents, and receiving evidence on affidavit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Granting bail and conducting criminal trials Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Issuing search warrants and freezing bank accounts Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 21C confers on the Authority, the Disciplinary Committee, the Board of Discipline and the Director (Discipline), for the purposes of an inquiry under the Act, the same powers as a civil court under the CPC, 1908 in respect of summoning and enforcing the attendance of any person and examining him on oath, the discovery and production of documents, and receiving evidence on affidavit. These are civil-inquiry powers, not powers of arrest, taxation, bail, criminal trial, or asset freezing. Therefore the correct option correctly lists the conferred powers.
