Which among the following is NOT correctly matched?a)Article 321: Powe...
Introduction:
In this question, we are given four options related to the functions and powers of the Public Service Commissions (PSCs) mentioned in the Indian Constitution. We need to identify the option that is NOT correctly matched.
Explanation:
Let's analyze each option one by one:
a) Article 321: Power to extend functions of the Public Service Commissions:
Article 321 of the Indian Constitution grants the power to the Parliament to extend the functions of the Public Service Commissions to other services and posts. This means that the Parliament can authorize the PSCs to conduct recruitment examinations and make appointments for positions other than the civil services.
b) Article 317: Removal and Suspension of a member of the Public Service Commission:
Article 317 of the Indian Constitution deals with the removal and suspension of a member of the Public Service Commission. It states that a member of the PSC can only be removed or suspended by the President on the grounds of misbehavior or incapacity, but only after an inquiry has been conducted by the Supreme Court.
c) Article 320: Expenses of Public Service Commissions:
This option is NOT correctly matched. Article 320 of the Indian Constitution does not deal with the expenses of the Public Service Commissions. Instead, it deals with the functions of the PSCs, which include conducting examinations for appointments to the civil services and advising the government on matters related to recruitment, promotions, and disciplinary actions.
d) Article 323: Reports of Public Service Commissions:
Article 323 of the Indian Constitution deals with the reports of the Public Service Commissions. It states that the reports of the PSCs should be submitted to the Governor or the President, as the case may be, and these reports should be laid before the Legislature of the concerned state or the Parliament.
Conclusion:
Based on the above analysis, it can be concluded that option 'c) Article 320: Expenses of Public Service Commissions' is NOT correctly matched. The correct match for Article 320 is related to the functions of the PSCs, not their expenses.
