Polity & Governance2013
Which one of the following statements is correct?
Explanation
The statement is correct because the Constitution of India does not specify a detailed procedure for the removal of a Governor, unlike other constitutional functionaries such as the President. Article 156 allows the Governor to hold office during the pleasure of the President, which implies that the President can remove the Governor without a formal process, thereby reflecting the special status accorded to Governors in the federal structure of India. This lack of a defined removal procedure underscores the constitutional principle of the Governor's role as a representative of the President, highlighting the nuances of central-state relations.
