Consider the following statements:
- The minimum age prescribed for any person to be a member of Panchayat is 25 years.
- A Panchayat reconstituted after premature dissolution continues only for the remainder period.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Detailed Explanation:
Answer: Option 2 — 2 only
❌ Statement 1 – Incorrect: The minimum age to be a member of a Panchayat is 21 years, not 25 years. Article 243F of the Constitution prescribes that a person must be at least 21 years old to be eligible for membership of a Panchayat.
✅ Statement 2 – Correct: When a Panchayat is reconstituted after premature dissolution, it continues only for the remainder of the original term. Article 243E(4) clearly states that a Panchayat reconstituted after dissolution shall continue only for the unexpired period of the original term, not for a fresh five-year term.
