An internal auditor notes that Section 69B(3) says the procedure and safeguards for monitoring and collecting traffic data shall be such as may be prescribed. Which inference is correct?

The detailed procedure and safeguards are not in Section 69B itself; sub-section (3) says they shall be as prescribed. The power is exercised only by a Government agency authorised by notification under sub-section (1), so private bodies cannot monitor traffic data under it.

  1. AThe detailed procedure and safeguards are left to prescribed rules, not set out in Section 69B itselfCorrect
  2. BThe section sets a fixed 30-day procedure within its own text
  3. CAny private body corporate may monitor traffic data without authorisation
  4. DSafeguards apply only to intermediaries abroad

Explanation

Section 69B(3) delegates the procedure and safeguards to what may be prescribed. Monitoring is by an agency authorised by Gazette notification under sub-section (1), not by any private body, and the section contains no fixed day-count procedure.
