What is the notice period for the termination of a Law Officer during his term of office?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Under Rule 3(1)(b) of the Law Officers (Conditions of Service) Rules, 1987, the appointment of a Law Officer—defined in Rule 2(c) as the Attorney-General for India, the Solicitor-General for India, or an Additional Solicitor-General for India—may, at any time during his term of office, be terminated by three months' notice in writing by either side. Under Rule 3(1)(a), a Law Officer normally holds office for a term of three years and is eligible for re-appointment on the expiry of that term. Accordingly, the statutory notice period for premature termination during the term of office is 3 months, rather than 1 month, 2 months, or 6 months.
