Question

Which one of the following is not true in respect of Election Commission of India?

• A. It can cancel elections in case of malpractice
• B. Its decisions cannot be challenged in Courts
• C. It allots election symbols
• D. It prepares electoral rolls

Hint:

In the Indian constitutional framework, no authority or body is above judicial review.
Any option stating that a body's decisions "cannot be challenged in courts" is almost always legally false.
This is an excellent rule of thumb for legal exams.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the question type.
This is a "which is NOT true" question, so we need to find the false statement about the Election Commission of India (ECI).
Step 2: Verify each option.
The ECI can cancel elections in case of malpractice (TRUE). It allots election symbols (TRUE). It prepares electoral rolls (TRUE). Option (2) claims ECI decisions cannot be challenged in courts.
Step 3: Identify the false statement.
This is FALSE - decisions of the Election Commission CAN be challenged through judicial review before the Supreme Court or High Courts.
\[ \boxed{\text{Its decisions cannot be challenged in Courts}} \]
