Key Points
- The Ethics Committee in the Lok Sabha was initially constituted as an ad-hoc committee. Hence statement 1 is correct.
- While Members of the Lok Sabha can indeed bring complaints, the Ethics Committee can also take up matters suo motu (on its own initiative) or based on complaints from other sources, including media reports or public allegations. Hence statement 2 is incorrect.
- The Ethics Committee generally avoids taking up matters that are sub-judice (under judicial consideration), as it could interfere with the judicial process and decisions. Hence statement 3 is correct.
