Q. With reference to the ‘State Cabinet Committees’, consider the following statements:
1. They are set up by the chief minister.
2. Constitution doesn’t provide their number, nomenclature and composition.
3. The decisions of the cabinet committees must be compulsorily approved by the full cabinet.
How many statements given above are correct?
Answer: B
Notes:
Exp) Option b is the correct answer.
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. They are set up by the chief minister according to the exigencies of the time and requirements of the situation. Hence, their number, nomenclature and composition vary from time to time. The cabinet works through various committees called Cabinet Committees. Committees not only sort out issues and formulate proposals for the consideration of the cabinet but also take decisions.
Statement 3 is incorrect. The Cabinet committees are all powerful, which means if they take a decision, it is quite final and does not need the stamp of approval of the full Cabinet. However, the cabinet can review their decisions if it wants.
