Which of the following can be deduced from this? I. No Governor can be removed from office till completion of his term. II. No Governor can continue in office beyond a period of five years. Select the correct answer from the codes given below:
(a)I only
(b)II only
(c)Both I and II
(d)Neither I nor II
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither I nor II
Article 156(1) prescribes a five-year term for a Governor, but Article 156(3) allows the President to remove a Governor at pleasure, so Statement I is false. Article 156(4) permits a Governor to remain in office beyond five years until a successor assumes charge, so Statement II is also false. Hence option (d) (Neither I nor II) is correct.
