Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither 1 nor 2
The Chief Secretary is selected by the Chief Minister; the appointment order is merely issued in the Governor’s name, so Statement 1 is not correct. There is no statutorily fixed tenure for a Chief Secretary—tenure depends on the state government’s pleasure—so Statement 2 is also incorrect. Hence neither statement is correct.
