FIA Act

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) of Pakistan was established on 13th January 1975, making option B the correct answer.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) is constituted under Section 2 of the FIA Act, which establishes the agency and defines its functions and powers.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Act extends to the whole territory of Pakistan, covering all provinces, federal territories, and border areas. This means the jurisdiction is comprehensive and nationwide. Option C, 'Whole of Pakistan,' best captures this scope. Options A and B are less precise or redundant, and D is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

The correct legal phrasing for the title of an act is typically "This Act shall be called..." which formally establishes the name of the legislation. Option A reflects this standard phrasing, making it the correct answer.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) can take cognizance after an offence has been committed, when a person is likely to commit an offence, or when a person is making preparations to commit an offence, thus all options are correct.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) primarily provides assistance to provincial investigation agencies rather than provincial governments or legislatures. This collaboration helps in law enforcement and investigation matters across federal and provincial levels.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) does not have the power to mortgage property, as this is a financial transaction typically reserved for property owners or authorized financial institutions. However, the FIA can auction or sell property under certain legal circumstances. Therefore, option B is correct.

The search results indicate that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) contains five separate schedules. The original question about the FIA Act having three schedules is not supported by the search results, which refer to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and its schedules. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D' (None of these) since none of the options (1, 2, or 3) match the actual number of schedules in the FISA, which is five.

Section 3 of the FIA Act typically refers to the 'Constitution of the Agency,' which outlines the legal establishment and foundational framework of the Federal Investigation Agency. 'Structure of the Agency' is a broader term and not the specific legal terminology used in the Act.

The FIA Act was enacted as Act VIII of 1975, not 1974. Therefore, option A is correct because it accurately reflects the official designation of the Act.
