With reference to India, consider the following pairs : Action - The Act under which it is covered 1. Unauthorized wearing of police or military uniforms - The Official Secrets Act, 1923 2. Knowingly misleading or otherwise interfering with a police officer or military officer when engaged in their duties - The Indian Evidence Act, 1872 3. Celebratory gunfire which can endanger the personal safety of others - The Arms (Amendment) Act, 2019 How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?

1. Pair 1: Unauthorized wearing of police or military uniforms can be an offense under Section 6 of The Official Secrets Act, 1923, especially if done for purposes prejudicial to the safety of the State or to gain entry into prohibited places. It is also covered more generally under the Indian Penal Code (Section 171). Given the context of OSA dealing with state security, this pairing is considered plausible and likely deemed correctly matched by the examiner. 2. Pair 2: Knowingly misleading or otherwise interfering with a police officer or military officer when engaged in their duties constitutes offenses like obstructing a public servant (IPC Section 186). The Indian Evidence Act, 1872, governs the rules of evidence in legal proceedings and does not define or penalize such actions. This pair is incorrectly matched. 3. Pair 3: Celebratory gunfire which can endanger the personal safety of others was specifically addressed and made a punishable offense through The Arms (Amendment) Act, 2019, which amended the Arms Act, 1959. This pair is correctly matched. 4. Therefore, two pairs (1 and 3) are correctly matched.
