Q90: If a person fails to pay the penalty imposed by the Adjudicating Authority within 90 days, they are liable for "Civil Imprisonment." Who issues the warrant for this arrest under Section 14?
✅ Correct Answer: B
The Adjudicating Authority.

Structural Breakdown: Civil Nature: The arrest is not for the crime, but for the default in payment.
