माहितीचा अधिकार अधिनियम २००५च्या ______ नुसार मुख्य माहिती आयुक्त हे विहित कालावधीसाठी सदर पदावर राहतील आणि पुनर्नियुक्तीसाठी पात्र नसतील.

The correct answer is Option C (Section 13(1)).

Key Points:
• Section 13(1) of the Right to Information Act, 2005 governs the term of office and conditions of service of the Chief Information Commissioner (CIC).
• ⏳ It explicitly states that the Chief Information Commissioner shall hold office for such term as may be prescribed by the Central Government (originally 5 years, amended to 3 years by the RTI Amendment Act 2019) or until attaining the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier, and shall NOT be eligible for reappointment.
• In contrast, Section 13(2) deals with the term and conditions of Information Commissioners (ICs), Section 13(3) covers the administration of the oath of office by the President, and Section 13(4) addresses resignation procedures.
• Hence, Section 13(1) is the correct statutory provision.
• Key Takeaway: Section 13(1) of the RTI Act prescribes the term of the Chief Information Commissioner and bars reappointment.
