Shri Raghav Menon, the Advocate-General of a State and an ex officio member of its State Bar Council, is elected by that Council as its member on the Bar Council of India. Under section 4(3) of the Advocates Act, 1961, what is his term on the Bar Council of India?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 4(3)(i) fixes the term of an ex officio State member elected to the Bar Council of India at "two years from the date of his election" or until he ceases to be a member of the State Bar Council, whichever is earlier. The rule that links the term to the member's term on the State Council applies only to other members, under Section 4(3)(ii). Five years is the term of an elected State Bar Council, not of this office.
