खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान/ने चूक आहे/त ?
(a) पोलीस अधिकाऱ्याला निलंबीत केल्यास त्याचे सर्व अधिकार व कार्य देखील निलंबीत होतात.
(b) निलंबीत पोलीस अधिकारी त्याच्या सर्व विशेषाधिकारांपासून वंचित केला जात नाही.
(c) निलंबीत पोलीस अधिकारी वरिष्ठ अधिकाऱ्यांच्या अधीन असतो.
पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option A (Only (b)).

Key Points:
• Legal status under Section 26 of Maharashtra Police Act, 1951:
• Section 26: Under this provision, a police officer does not cease to be a police officer merely by being suspended.
• Clause (a) is true: The powers, functions, and duties vested in him as a police officer shall be in abeyance during the period of suspension.
• Clause (b) is FALSE: Section 26 explicitly provides that a suspended police officer is deprived of all privileges, powers, and immunities vested in him as such. Therefore, saying he is *not* deprived makes statement (b) incorrect.
• Clause (c) is true: He continues to remain subject to the same responsibilities, discipline, and the control of the same superior authorities as if he were not suspended.
• Only statement (b) is incorrect (Option 1).
• Key Takeaway: Under Section 26 of the Police Act, suspension deprives an officer of powers and privileges, but he remains subject to departmental control and discipline.
