1. Initially it was an ad-hoc Committee.

2. Only a Member of the Lok Sabha can make a complaint relating to unethical conduct of a member of the Lok Sabha.

3. This Committee cannot take up any matter which is sub-judice.

Select the answer using the code given below :

(a). 1 and 2 only

(b). 2 and 3 only

(c). 1 and 3 only

(d). 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

The Ethics Committee actually started as an ad-hoc committee. While it functions as a standing committee now, it wasn't always that way.

Any person, not just a Member of Parliament, can file a complaint regarding unethical conduct of an MP. This ensures wider accountability.

The Committee avoids taking up sub-judice matters to prevent interference with ongoing legal proceedings.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option (c).
