Consider the following statements:1. Union Territories are not represe...
Explanation:
Let's analyze each statement one by one:
Statement 1: Union Territories are not represented in the Rajya Sabha.
This statement is incorrect. Union Territories are represented in the Rajya Sabha. The Constitution of India provides for the representation of Union Territories in the Rajya Sabha. Article 80(1)(b) of the Constitution states that the President can nominate members to the Rajya Sabha to represent Union Territories. Currently, there are six Union Territories in India - Delhi, Puducherry, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu - and they are all represented in the Rajya Sabha.
Statement 2: It is within the purview of the Chief Election Commissioner to adjudicate the election disputes.
This statement is incorrect. The Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) does not have the power to adjudicate election disputes. The CEC is the head of the Election Commission of India (ECI), which is an independent body responsible for conducting elections in India. The ECI consists of the CEC and two Election Commissioners. While the ECI has the power to conduct and supervise elections, the adjudication of election disputes is within the purview of the Election Tribunals and the High Courts. Election disputes can be filed before the appropriate Election Tribunal or the High Court, and these bodies have the power to adjudicate on such disputes.
Statement 3: According to the Constitution of India, the Parliament consists of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha only.
This statement is incorrect. According to the Constitution of India, the Parliament consists of three parts - the President, the Lok Sabha, and the Rajya Sabha. Article 79 of the Constitution defines the Parliament of India and states that it consists of these three parts. The President is an integral part of the Parliament and has certain powers and functions related to legislation and lawmaking.
Therefore, none of the statements given in the question is correct. Option 'D' is the correct answer.
