(d) 'क्ष' ने विशिष्ट जातीतल्या व्यक्तिशी विवाह केल्यामुळे 'क्ष' आणि त्याच्या कुटुंबियांना जातीबाहेर टाकले.
पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option A ((b), (c) and (d)).

Key Points:
• Offences under Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955 (PCR Act):
• Statutory Offences:
• Refusing access to a public shop, restaurant, or public service establishment like a hair-cutting salon on grounds of untouchability (Section 4) -> (b) is an offence.
• Practicing discrimination/segregation in any educational institution/hostel (Section 5) -> (c) is an offence.
• Boycotting, excommunicating, or imposing social disabilities on a person for inter-caste marriage (Section 7) -> (d) is an offence.
• Private Well Exemption: Section 4 penalizes denying water access to public wells, tanks, or water sources dedicated to the public; it does NOT apply to a purely private well located in an individual's private backyard and owned strictly by them. Hence, (a) is not an offence under this Act.
• Acts (b), (c), and (d) constitute offences, matching Option (1).
• Key Takeaway: Under the PCR Act 1955, denying salon access, segregating students, and excommunicating for marriage are offences; denying access to a purely private well is not.
