Recent and multiple authoritative news sources confirm that the Overseas Litigants Facilitation Cell (OLFC) was established by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, not the Lahore High Court. The OLFC is located at the Principal Seat of the Supreme Court and is managed by the Principal Staff Officer to the Chief Justice of Pakistan. Its purpose is to facilitate overseas litigants in accessing justice in the Supreme Court through digital means such as WhatsApp and an online portal. The facility is exclusive to the Supreme Court and does not extend to other courts.

The offence of marrying someone while already married to another person is legally known as bigamy. The other options are unrelated terms.

In Pakistan's federal system, residuary powers—those not explicitly mentioned in the constitution—are vested in the Centre (federal government), as per Article 70 of the Constitution of Pakistan. This means the federal government exercises powers over subjects not enumerated in the provincial or concurrent lists.

As of 2026, the Constitution of Pakistan (1973) has been amended 27 times. The 27th Amendment was passed recently, making the total number of amendments 27. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Military courts in Pakistan were established under the 21st Amendment to the Constitution, which was specifically enacted to allow military courts to try terrorism-related cases.

The first chapter of the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan deals with the Directive Principles of State Policy, which guide the government in making laws and policies. Fundamental Rights are covered in a separate chapter, not the first one.

The correct answer is A because the duties, privileges, and liabilities of the agency members are analogous to those of Provincial Police Officers concerning the investigation of offences under the code. Options B and C refer to different contexts (military and transportation) which are not relevant here, and D is incorrect as option A is correct.

Under the FIA Act 1974, a member of the Agency not below the rank of Sub Inspector can exercise the powers of an officer in-charge of a police station in the area where they are present for inquiries or investigations. This aligns with option B.

According to the FIA Act 1974, the superintendence of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) vests in the Federal Government, which oversees the agency's operations and administration.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) is empowered to investigate offences specified in the Schedule of the FIA Act, which includes attempts, conspiracies, and abetments related to those offences. Option B correctly reflects this scope.
