विशेष विवाह अधिनियम, १९५४ मधील कलम ९ नुसार एखाद्या व्यक्तीस पुरावा देण्यास हजर राहणेस आदेश देताना विवाह नोंदणी अधिकाऱ्याच्या अधिकारक्षेत्राची मर्यादा काय आहे ?

The correct answer is Option A (his District).

Key Points:
• Section 9 of Special Marriage Act, 1954 - Powers of Marriage Officers in respect of inquiries:
• Section 9(1) vests the Marriage Officer with all the powers of a Civil Court under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 for summoning and enforcing the attendance of witnesses and examining them on oath.
• Section 9(2) explicitly provides:
• "For the purpose of any inquiry under Section 8, the Marriage Officer may also issue summons to witnesses to appear and give evidence or to produce documents, but the local limits of the jurisdiction of the Marriage Officer in this behalf shall be the district for which he is appointed."
• Therefore, the local jurisdiction of the Marriage Officer to enforce attendance is strictly limited to his District.
• Officially verified key confirms Option 1 (his District).
• Key Takeaway: Under Section 9(2) of the Special Marriage Act, a Marriage Officer's jurisdiction to compel witness attendance is confined to his district.
