Which of the following as per the Law Officers (Appointment and Conditions of Service) and Conduct of Legal Affairs of the Government Rules, 2009 with reference to the qualifications for appointment is/are correct?
I. An Assistant Government Pleader must be an income tax assessee for at least one year prior to appointment.
II. The maximum age limit for appointment as a Public Prosecutor in the High Court is 55 years.
III. A person with 8 years of standing as an advocate is qualified to be an Additional Government Pleader.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The Assistant Government Pleader income-tax requirement is at least one year before appointment, so the first statement is correct. A Public Prosecutor in the High Court has a maximum appointment age of sixty under rule 5(1), while fifty-five applies to the additional category. An Additional Government Pleader needs at least seven years standing, so eight years satisfies that experience requirement, subject also to the separate age and income-tax conditions. The correct combination is therefore the first and third statements.
