Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

According to Section 12(3) of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, the Chief Information Commissioner and Information Commissioners are appointed by the President on the recommendation of a committee consisting of:

  • The Prime Minister, who shall be the Chairperson of the committee;
  • The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha; and
  • A Union Cabinet Minister to be nominated by the Prime Minister.

The Chief Justice of India (Statement 2) is not a member of this selection committee. While a search committee headed by the Cabinet Secretary (Statement 5) may be constituted to shortlist candidates for the consideration of the selection committee, the Cabinet Secretary is not a member of the statutory selection committee itself. Therefore, only statements 1, 3, and 4 are correct.
