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!

When the Chief Justice of a High Court acts in administrative capacity, he is subject to 

a. the writ jurisdiction of any of the other judges of the High Court

b. Special control exercised by the CJI 

c. Discretionary powers of the Governor of the State

d. Special powers provided to the CM in this regard.

A

Correct option C.

Article 227 (3) subject to any law in force and prior approval of the Governor. 

Nah. Answer is A.  


Okay I am confused now🙂 which answer key to believe? Checked with Laxmikant and it says correct answer is B!!

However Article 227(3) nowhere mentions the word "discretion"of governor, just says "prior approval of the governor". Are the two expressions one and the same thing?


Prior approval is not same as discretion. 

Yeah. So what do you think should be the correct answer? 

I would go with A.

If a wetland of international importance is brought under the ‘Montreux Record’, what does it imply? 



(a) Changes in ecological character have occurred, are occurring or are likely to occur in the wetland as a result of human interference

(b) The country in which the wetland is located should enact a law to prohibit any human activity within five kilometres from the edge of the wetland

(c) The survival of the wetland depends on the cultural practices and traditions
of certain communities living in its vicinity and therefore the cultural diversity therein should not be destroyed
