अशोक मेहता समितीच्या शिफारसी संदर्भात खालीलपैकी कोणते/ती विधान/ने असत्य आहे/त ?
अ. अशोक मेहता समितीने त्रिस्तरीय पंचायती राज व्यवस्था निर्मितीची शिफारस केली.
ब. न्याय पंचायतीची वेगळी व्यवस्था ठेवण्यात यावी.
क. जिल्हा परिषदेला जिल्हा स्तरीय आर्थिक नियोजनासाठी जबाबदार ठरविण्यात यावे.

The correct answer is Option A (Only a).

Key Points:
• The Ashok Mehta Committee was appointed by the Janata Party Government in December 1977 and submitted its report in August 1978.
• Major recommendations of the Ashok Mehta Committee:
• The three-tier system of Panchayati Raj should be replaced by a TWO-TIER system: Zila Parishad at the district level and Mandal Panchayat (covering a population of 15,000 to 20,000) below it. Therefore, statement a is incorrect (it recommended two tiers, not three).
• Nyaya Panchayats should be kept as separate bodies from developmental panchayats and presided over by a qualified judge (Statement b is a correct recommendation).
• Zila Parishad should be the executive body and made responsible for planning and development at the district level (Statement c is a correct recommendation).
• Since the question asks for the incorrect statement, only statement a is incorrect.
• Key Takeaway: The Ashok Mehta Committee (1977-78) recommended a two-tier Panchayati Raj structure (Zila Parishad and Mandal Panchayat), not three tiers.
