Which committee suggested the enactment of the Competition Act, 2002?
Detailed Explanation:
The S. V. S. Raghavan Committee (1999) recommended the enactment of a new competition law to replace the outdated MRTP Act, 1969.
Based on this recommendation, the Competition Act, 2002 was enacted, establishing the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to regulate anti-competitive practices and promote fair competition in markets.
The first ‘Lokayukta’ was established in which of the following States?
Detailed Explanation:
Maharashtra established the first Lokayukta in India in 1971 under the leadership of Chief Minister V.P. Naik, following the recommendation of the Administrative Reforms Commission (1966).
The institution was created to address complaints of corruption and maladministration against public servants. Other states like Odisha (1983), Kerala (1999), and Punjab (1996) established their Lokayuktas much later.
Therefore, Maharashtra being the pioneer state, Option 3 is the correct answer.
