UPSC Previous Year Questions: CSP 2021

One cannot place less emphasis on the fact as to how important it is to solve questions asked by UPSC Previously. In fact, UPSC tends to repeat from its own stock, verbatim. 

This thread, shall be solely dedicated for posting questions asked in CSP & CAPF.

I shall be posting questions here on a daily basis. Urge you all to answer these in all seriousness. Shoot doubts if you have any, wrt solving any question. 

Remember the idea is to solve them, again. Reading questions and solutions is NOT sufficient. 

Cheers!

D. Chief secy is a political prerogative post. So it get appointed by the CM(Thru official appointment procedures) and s/he stays till the pleasure of the CM. Though there is a demand to give fixed tenure to Chief secy but no CM will love to do that, just like no central govt will accept sarkaria commission suggestions for Governor post !

Answer is C.

The Constitution confers the rights and privileges under Article14 on the citizens of India and to aliens. This explains statement 1 and 3.

Indian citizens living abroad are protected by the laws of the land of the country they are in. Essentially, the NRIs. 

All citizens born in India is a gibberish statement meant to be eliminated. 

I am not convinced why " all citizens born in India " is a gibberish statement , it is not wrong per se .
Also Article 14 does apply to Indians living abroad too , why would their protection ( if it happens) by foreign laws make this statement false? 

Can anyone please explain

Article 14 does apply to Indians living abroad - As per my understanding, it is for people within Indian territory.

@upsc2020 I think they are covered , but it may be a grey area 
"
  • NRIs are Indian citizens. They have the same benefits as all Indian Citizens barring a few exceptions.
  • They are given all the Fundamental Rights in the Constitution in the same manner as they are given to an ordinary citizen. They have voting rights, right to contest an election, avail all Fundamental Rights given in the Constitution, etc."

No. It's done by Add (chief) Secy (GAD) in the state. General Admin Deptt is generally under CM himself. Though all action of executive done in the name of Governor for formal purpose. But unka koi kaam nahi hota actually m isme. It was well debated that year. Pub adm wale details m padte h is issue of politicisation of chief secy post- so many of them saved that time from much confusion !


Here are few proofs. You can search more by searching appointment letters of Chief Secy !
