Correct Answer:
A. 7 working days
This question tests knowledge of the appellate process and the specific timeframes for challenging decisions within the administrative hierarchy. Adhering to these deadlines is critical for the validity of an appeal.
- Correct Option (A) 7 working days: The Act mandates that an appeal to the Divisional Commissioner must be filed within 7 working days from the date of the order. This relatively short period emphasizes the need for prompt action in seeking administrative review.
- Incorrect Options (B) 10 days, (C) 15 working days, (D) 30 days: These timeframes are not correct for filing an appeal to the Divisional Commissioner under this specific Act. While such periods might apply to other types of appeals or different authorities, they do not align with the stipulated deadline for this particular appellate stage.
