As at 1 June 2014, who was the Chairperson of the 20th Law Commission of India?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Justice A P Shah chaired the Twentieth Law Commission during 2013–2015 and was therefore its chairperson on 1 June 2014. Justice D K Jain had served earlier in 2013; identifying the commission alone without the date would not distinguish its successive chairpersons.
Current law: The Twentieth Law Commission term ended on 31 August 2015. Its chairmanship is a historical fact, so A P Shah should not be described as the current Law Commission chairperson.
