There a spy system in some kingdom which was mentioned by a traveller. I am unable to find or recall now. Was it Harsha,  given that his administration was strict and gave harsh punishments ?

Official answer key is (A). I have 2 queries - 

1) 1813 Act as per Spectrum - "EIC was to retain possessions and revenue for 20 more yearswithoutprejudice to the sovereignty of the Crown". How is this different from the term "asserting the sovereignty of the British Crown over Indian territories" mentioned in the question ? 

2) Also under which Act, the 3rd statement would fall? Will it be 1858 Act as Indian territories came directly under the British Crown ?

-3rd i guess shld fall in 1833 act when eic's commercial functions were ceased completely

-I guess 20 year term was made to assert the dominance of the crown over Indian subjects, and therefore sovg. over eic, both convey the same thing imo

Even I thought 1833 but this one confused me 

- Sorry I could not understand what you meant. Isn't "without prejudice to the sovereignty of the Crown" contradicting it ?

Even in this case would the revenue be considered under the control of theBritish Parliamentthough? Wouldn't that only happen through the 1858 Act?

I am interpreting like this ->1833 - Revenue under GG control, 1858 - Full British Parliament control. Am i thinking correct ?
