D Correct answer
Explanation

Section 21 IPC defines 'public servant'. Liquidators (appointed by court), civil judges, and panchayat members assisting courts are explicitly included. However, the secretary of a cooperative society is NOT a public servant unless the cooperative is specifically notified by the government. Cooperative societies are generally private bodies, not state instruments.
