Statutory Powers — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

Focus on memorizing specific statutory provisions: Section 13 (civil court powers), Section 14 (information requisition), constitutional articles (15(3), 39(e), 39(f)), and key differences between NCPCR and other bodies.

Create comparison charts for NCPCR vs SCPCR vs NHRC powers. Practice elimination techniques by understanding what NCPCR cannot do (direct punishment, arrest, override state decisions). Memorize recent interventions with dates and outcomes.

Pay attention to trap options that confuse quasi-judicial with judicial or police powers. Use acronyms like SIREN (Summon, Inquire, Requisition, Enforce, Navigate) for quick recall of powers.
