      what is the status of that decision?
      A The High Court, whose decision is appealable to the Supreme Court Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B The Council itself, whose decision is subject to government approval Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C A Tribunal of a Presiding Officer and two Members established by the Central Government, whose decision is final Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D The Appellate Authority, whose decision is final Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E The President of the Institute, whose decision is advisory Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      On receipt of an application under Section 10A, the Central Government, by notification, establishes a Tribunal consisting of a Presiding Officer and two other Members to decide the dispute, and the decision of such Tribunal is final. The section also prescribes qualifications for the Presiding Officer (a senior member of the Indian Legal Service) and the Members, and provides that the Council bears the Tribunal's expenses. The deciding body is therefore the Tribunal, and its decision is final, making it correct.
