Q. Who among the following is not a member of Disorders Inquiry Committee (Hunter Committee/Commission)?
Answer: D
Notes:
Explanation: The massacre at Jallianwalla Bagh shocked Indians and many British as well.
- The Secretary of State for India, Edwin Montagu, ordered that a committee of inquiry be formed to investigate the matter.
- So, on October 14, 1919, the Government of India announced the formation of the Disorders Inquiry Committee, which came to be more widely and variously known as the Hunter Committee/Commission after the name of chairman, Lord William Hunter, former Solicitor-General for Scotland and Senator of the College of Justice in Scotland.
- There were three Indians among the members, namely, Sir Chimanlal Harilal Setalvad, Vice-Chancellor of Bombay University and advocate of the Bombay High Court; Pandit Jagat Narayan, lawyer and Member of the Legislative Council of the United Provinces; and Sardar Sahibzada Sultan Ahmad Khan, lawyer from Gwalior State.
