Q31 (CDS-II/2012) Polity & Governance › State Executive & Legislature › Governor appointment and tenure Answer Verified

Which one among the following is not a recommendation of the Sarkaria Commission on the appointment of the Governor in a State?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Sarkaria Commission (1983–1988) provided comprehensive recommendations to ensure the non-partisan role of the Governor. It suggested that a Governor should be an eminent person from outside the state (not a native) [1]. The Commission emphasized that the appointee should not have participated in active politics for at least some time before the appointment [1]. Regarding tenure, it recommended that the five-year term should not be disturbed except for extremely rare and compelling reasons. Crucially, the Commission recommended that the President must consult the Chief Minister of the concerned state before appointing a Governor to ensure smooth Centre-State relations. It did not recommend consulting the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for this selection process. Therefore, option 2 is not a recommendation of the Sarkaria Commission.
