  1. Correct Answer – Option 4 : Tenure of Lokayukta is not fixed and work as the Ombudsman of government.

    The tenure of Lokayukta is not fixed and work as the Ombudsman of government is NOT correct.

    • Lokayukta:
      • He or she is an anti-corruption ombudsman organization in the Indian states.
      • On the recommendation of the Rajasthan Administrative Reforms Commission (1973), on 25 August 1973, Lokayukta in Rajasthan was appointed.
      • The retired judge of the Supreme court, Mr I. D. Dua became the first Lokayukta of Rajasthan. 
      • Lokayukta organisation can only recommend but cannot take any actions. 
      • The Governor of the state appoints the Lokayukta and its deputy.
        • Governor has to consult the Chief Justice of the High court and the leader of the opposition. 
      • The tenure of Lokayukta is fixed. They hold office for 5 years or up to the age of 65 years. Hence option 4 is incorrect.
      • They cannot be re-appointed.
    • Recently, Justice Sajjan Singh Kothari was the Lokayukta of Rajasthan. He was a former judge of the Rajasthan High Court. 
    • Currently, Honorable Justice Shri Pratap Krishna Lohra is the Lokayukta of Rajasthan.
