    D.

    With the consent of the detaining State's Human Rights Commission

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) With the consent of the Government of that other State 
    Explanation:

    • Section 5(b) of the National Security Act, 1980, outlines the legal framework for the transfer of a detained person across states.

    • It explicitly mandates that no order shall be made by a State Government for the removal of a person to another State without the consent of the Government of that other State.

    • This provision ensures inter-state coordination and prevents arbitrary transfers of detainees, respecting federal principles and administrative cooperation.

    • The measure acts as a crucial safeguard to prevent the misuse of power by one state over another regarding preventive detention cases. 
    Information Booster:

    • The National Security Act (NSA) of 1980 is a powerful preventive detention law used to maintain public order and national security.

     • The maximum period for which a person can be detained under the NSA is 12 months, although the order can be revoked earlier by the appropriate government. 
    Additional Knowledge:

    (a) With the consent of the Chief Justice of that other State: .

    • The judiciary (Chief Justice) is not involved in granting administrative consent for the inter-state transfer of detainees under the National Security Act. 
    (b) With the consent of the competent magistrate empowered for the same:

    . • Magistrates do not have the authority to approve inter-state transfers under the NSA; this power rests with the state governments. 
    (d) With the consent of the detaining State's Human Rights Commission: .

    Human Rights Commissions are advisory bodies and do not possess the legal authority to approve or deny such administrative transfers under the Act.
