Under Section 8 as given in the text, which composition of the Competition Commission of India is correct?
The Commission consists of a Chairperson and not less than two and not more than six other Members, appointed by the Central Government. The Act therefore sets a range, not a fixed number, for other Members.
- AA Chairperson and not less than two and not more than six other MembersCorrect
- BA Chairperson and exactly six other Members
- CA Chairperson and not less than six other Members
- DA Chairperson and not more than two other Members
Explanation
Section 8(1) provides for a Chairperson and not less than two and not more than six other Members appointed by the Central Government. Fixing exactly six, or a minimum of six, misstates the range. A maximum of two ignores the upper limit of six.
