Q. Which one of the following statement is correct?
Answer: C
Notes:
In India, the same person cannot be appointed as Governor for two or more States at the same time – This option is incorrect because according to the 7th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1956, the same person can be appointed as Governor for two or more States at the same time.
- The Judges of the High Court of the States in India are appointed by the Governor of the state just as the Judges of the Supreme Court are appointed by the President – This option is incorrect because the High Court Judges are also appointed by the President as in the case of Judges of the Supreme Court. But, the procedure is slightly different. The appointment of Chief Justice of High Court is dealt with in Article 217 of the Constitution which states that he is appointed by the President in consultation with the Chief justice of India as well as the Governor of the state in question. The collegium headed by the Chief Justice of India gives recommendations for the appointment of High Court Judges.
- In the cases a Union Territory having a legislative setup the Chief Minister is appointed by the Lt. Governor on the basis of majority support – This option is also incorrect because the Section 45 in the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963 states that the Chief Minister must be appointed by the President. Rest of the Ministers is appointed by the President on the advice of the Chief Minister.
- Thus, the only correct statement is No procedure has been laid down in the Constitution of India for the removal of a Governor from his/her post.
