Rajasthan Lokayukta MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Justice I. D. Dua was the first Lokayukta of Rajasthan, so he fits the historical office asked in the question. The Lokayukta institution deals with complaints of maladministration and corruption against public functionaries under the state framework. Justice Pratap Krishna Lohra, Justice S. S. Kothari and Justice J. L. Gupta are judicial names connected with public life, but they were not the first holder of the Rajasthan Lokayukta office. The question asks only for the first appointee, not later office-holders.

Under the Rajasthan Lokayukta framework, the Chief Minister is kept outside the Lokayukta's jurisdiction, so the official answer is the Chief Minister. Ministers can be examined by the Lokayukta for covered allegations of misconduct. Members of services established under a Rajasthan State Act also fall within the broad category of public servants covered by the institution. A Zila Pramukh is a public functionary in local self-government and is not excluded in the way the Chief Minister is. The question therefore turns on the specific statutory exclusion.
