Explanation
★The correct pairing is All India Services (Conduct) Rules to 1954, Central Bureau of Investigation to 1963, Indian Penal Code to 1860, and Special Police Establishment to 1941, which is option (2).
★The All India Services (Conduct) Rules were framed in 1954 under the All India Services Act, 1951, to lay down the conduct standards for officers of the IAS, IPS and allied all India services.
★The All India Services themselves flow from Article 312 of the Constitution, under which Parliament can create new all India services in the national interest.
★The Central Bureau of Investigation was set up in 1963 by a resolution of the Home Ministry, and it is India's premier investigating agency.
★The CBI grew out of the Special Police Establishment, so it is a re organisation of an older body rather than a fresh creation.
★The Special Police Establishment was constituted in 1941 to probe bribery and corruption in wartime transactions of the British Indian government.
★The CBI derives its legal powers from the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946, which is why the Special Police Establishment is its institutional ancestor.
★The Indian Penal Code was enacted in 1860 on the recommendations of the First Law Commission, chaired by Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay, and it came into force in 1862.
★The IPC remained India's general criminal code for over a century and a half, before its recent replacement by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
★The dates read as a clean sequence: 1860 for the IPC, 1941 for the SPE, 1954 for the AIS Conduct Rules, and 1963 for the CBI.
★The main trap is swapping the agency, the CBI of 1963, with its parent body, the Special Police Establishment of 1941.
★A second trap is pushing the IPC into the twentieth century, whereas it is firmly a post 1857, mid nineteenth century codification.
★The CBI was set up on the recommendation of the Santhanam Committee on Prevention of Corruption.
★The First Law Commission that drafted the IPC was constituted in 1834 under the Charter Act of 1833.
★For NET, anchor the four dates and their bases: IPC 1860 from Macaulay's Law Commission, SPE 1941, AIS Conduct Rules 1954 for the Article 312 services, and CBI 1963 from the Santhanam Committee.
