लोकपाल व लोकायुक्त अधिनियम-2013 च्या प्रमुख वैशिष्ट्याबाबत खालीलपैकी कोणते चुकीचे आहे ?

The correct answer is Option C (The term of office for Lokpal Chairperson and members will be 5 years or till attaining the age of 65 years.).

Key Points:
• Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013 Key Mandates:
• Tenure and Age Limit: According to Section 6 of the Act, the Chairperson and Members shall hold office for a term of 5 years or until they attain the age of 70 years, whichever is earlier (not 65 years). Hence, Statement 3 is incorrect.
• Composition: The Lokpal consists of a Chairperson and a maximum of 8 members, out of which 50% shall be Judicial Members.
• Affirmative Representation: A minimum of 50% of members must be drawn from amongst Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, Minorities, and Women.
• Jurisdiction: Under Section 14, the Prime Minister is brought under the purview of Lokpal with specific subject exemptions (international relations, external and internal security, public order, atomic energy, and space).
• Key Takeaway: Lokpal Chairperson and members serve for 5 years or up to 70 years of age.
