The correct answer is option 2: The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court may be consulted by the President in selecting a Governor. This option is not a recommendation of the Sarkaria Commission on the appointment of the Governor in a State.

Option 1 states that the Governor must not have participated in active politics for some time before their appointment. This recommendation suggests that having some distance from active politics would ensure impartiality and prevent any conflicts of interest.

Option 3 states that the Governor`s term of office should not be disturbed, except in rare cases. This recommendation aims to provide stability and continuity in governance by allowing the Governor to serve their full term.

Option 4 states that the Governor should not be a native of the state. This recommendation suggests that a non-native Governor would bring a fresh perspective and not favor any particular group or region.

While options 1, 3, and 4 are recommendations of the Sarkaria Commission, option 2 is not. It is important to note that even though option 2 is not a recommendation, the President may still choose to consult with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in the selection process, but it is not a mandatory requirement according to the commission`s recommendations.
