Q90 (CDS-I/2005) Polity & Governance › Constitutional Basics & Evolution › Constitutional structure Answer Verified

Consider the following statements: In the Warrant of Precedence of the Government of India 1. Governors of States within their respective states precede the Chief Justice of India. 2. Officers of the rank of Lieutenant General or equivalent rank precede the Members of Parliament. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

According to the Table of Precedence issued by the President's Secretariat, Governors of States within their respective states are placed at Article 4 [c1][t4]. The Chief Justice of India and the Speaker of the Lok Sabha are placed at Article 6 [t4]. Since a lower article number indicates higher precedence, Statement 1 is correct as Governors precede the Chief Justice of India within their own states. Regarding Statement 2, Members of Parliament (MPs) are placed at Article 21 [t4]. Officers of the rank of Lieutenant General or equivalent rank are placed at Article 25 [c2]. Consequently, MPs (Article 21) precede Lieutenant Generals (Article 25), making Statement 2 incorrect. The Table of Precedence is primarily intended for state and ceremonial occasions and does not apply to the day-to-day business of the government [c1][t4].
