47. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage (47 50)
The Indian Constitution makes the provision for the appointment of the Chairman and members of the UPSC. It states that the Chairman and members will be appointed by the President of India. As the President is only the nominal head of the government, these appointments are, in reality, made by the Prime Minister and his cabinet. The exact strength of the Commission is not specified in the Constitution. The President determines its strength. Over the years, the Commission's membership has increased, depending on the workload.
The Constitution provides that, as nearly as may be, one-half of the members must be persons who have held office for at least ten years under the Government of India. The expression nearly as may be, one-half' in Article 316 indicates only approximation and cannot be read as equivalent to not more than half.
The Administrative Reforms Commission, in its report on Personnel Administration, had recommended that the Chairman of UPSC should be consulted while making appointments of members of the Commission, and besides, he should be consulted by the Government even with regard to the appointment of his successor. Stressing the value of the 'experience factor', the ARC had suggested that not less than two-thirds of the members of UPSC should be drawn from among the Chairmen and members of State Public Service Commissions.
The Constitution explains the grounds on which the members of the Commission can be removed or suspended by the President. When a member is to be removed on grounds of misbehaviour, the President has to refer the matter to the Supreme Court for enquiry.
The Supreme Court sends its verdict to the President and the latter is bound by this advice. If the Court advises removal, the President can remove the Chairman or a member. While the enquiry is going on, the President can remove the Chairman or a member on these grounds too
if he is adjudged insolvent, if he engages in paid employment outside the duties of his office during his tenure, and if he is unfit by reason of infirmity of body and mind.
Besides, if the Chairman or a member becomes concerned or interested in any contract or agreement made by or on behalf of the Government of India and participates in any way in the profit, benefit or emoluments therefrom, otherwise than as a member, he shall be deemed guilty of misbehaviour. In cases of misbehaviour alone, the matter is referred to the Supreme Court so that the Commission is immune from political pressures. However, the Constitution does not elaborate the categories of acts falling under 'misbehaviour.' So far, no Chairman or member of the Commission has been removed on this ground.

Under which Article of the Constitution, the Chairman of UPSC is appointed

311

315

(C)316

309


Point-out the option which prescribes the eligibility of appointment for the members of UPSC.

50% of the members having held the office for at least 10 years under the Government of India.

As nearly as may be ½ having served for at least 10 years under the Government of India.

As nearly as may be ½ having served for at least 15 years under the Government of India.


The procedure for initiating an enquiry against the members of the Commission has been prescribed in the Constitution under Article

143

(C)145

146


On what ground, President of India can remove a member of the Commission.?

Engaged in paid employment elsewhere

Infirmity of body and mind
