Which of the following is/are among the functions of the Election Comm...
The correct answer is option 'D', None of these.
Explanation:
The Election Commission of India (ECI) is an autonomous constitutional body responsible for the conduct and supervision of elections in India. It is entrusted with several functions, including but not limited to the ones mentioned in the options.
1. Conduct of elections for the posts of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha and Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha:
The Election Commission is not responsible for conducting elections for these positions. The Speaker and Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha and Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha are elected by the members of the respective houses themselves, and the Election Commission has no role in their election.
2. Conduct of election to the Corporations and Municipalities:
The Election Commission is responsible for conducting elections to various bodies, including the Parliament, State Legislative Assemblies, and Panchayats. However, the conduct of elections to Corporations and Municipalities falls under the purview of State Election Commissions. Each state has its own State Election Commission that is responsible for conducting elections to local bodies within that state.
3. Deciding on all doubts and disputes arising out of elections:
This is one of the key functions of the Election Commission of India. The Election Commission has the authority to decide on doubts and disputes arising out of elections. It acts as an impartial authority and ensures the fair conduct of elections by resolving disputes and taking appropriate actions.
In conclusion, the Election Commission of India does not have the function of conducting elections for the posts of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha and Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha, nor does it conduct elections to Corporations and Municipalities. However, it does have the authority to decide on doubts and disputes arising out of elections. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D', None of these.
