Section 11 of CRPF Act : Section 11: Minor Punishments

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a member of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is found guilty of neglecting their patrol duty. The Commandant, upon reviewing the case, decides to impose a punishment in accordance with Section 11 of The Central Reserve Police Force Act, 1949.

In this case, the Commandant chooses to reduce the rank of the member as a disciplinary action (as per Section 11(1)(a)). Additionally, considering the severity of the neglect, the Commandant imposes a fine equivalent to half a month's pay (Section 11(1)(b)) and orders confinement to quarters for two weeks (Section 11(1)(c)).

The member in question is informed of the punishments and the reasons for their imposition, highlighting the practical application of Section 11 of the Act in maintaining discipline within the CRPF.
