Q94 (CAPF/2018) Polity & Governance › State Executive & Legislature › Governor appointment and tenure Answer Verified

Which one of the following Commissions has not examined the issue of removal of the Governor of a State?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The issue of the Governor's removal and security of tenure has been extensively examined by several commissions focused on Centre-State relations. The Sarkaria Commission (1983-1988) reviewed the Governor's role and tenure, noting that many did not complete their five-year terms [1]. The Venkatachaliah Commission (National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution, 2002) recommended a fixed five-year term and suggested that removal should only occur through a procedure similar to impeachment. The Punchhi Commission (2010) further emphasized that Governors should have a fixed tenure and their removal should not be at the 'sweet will' of the Central Government, proposing an impeachment process by the State Legislature [1]. In contrast, the Thakkar Commission was established specifically to investigate the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and did not examine the constitutional issue of the Governor's removal.
