Which Section of Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Act deals with the disqualification for membership of Halqa Panchayat?

Section 3
Section 4
Section 5
Section 6

The correct answer is Section 4 of the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Act.

Section 4 of the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Act deals with the disqualification for membership of Halqa Panchayat. It states that a person shall be disqualified for being elected or for being a member of a Halqa Panchayat if he:

(a) is not a citizen of India;
(b) is not a resident of the State of Jammu and Kashmir;
(c) is of unsound mind;
(d) is an undischarged insolvent;
(e) has been convicted of an offence and sentenced to imprisonment for a term of not less than two years;
(f) has been adjudged by a competent court to be of unsound mind;
(g) has been dismissed from Government service or from service under any local authority on the ground of misconduct;
(h) has been found guilty of corrupt practice under the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Act;
(i) has been disqualified from being a member of a Halqa Panchayat under any law for the time being in force; or
(j) has been nominated as a member of the Legislative Assembly or the Legislative Council of the State of Jammu and Kashmir.

The other options are incorrect because they do not deal with the disqualification for membership of Halqa Panchayat.
