The President may remove the Chairman or member of the Public Service Commission without making a reference to the Supreme Court. Which is not true in this context ?
Answer: C
Under Article 317 the President may remove the Chairman or a member of a Public Service Commission without a reference to the Supreme Court if the person is adjudged insolvent, engages in paid employment outside the duties of the office, or is unfit by reason of infirmity of mind or body. Removal for misbehaviour can be made only after the Supreme Court has held an inquiry and reported that the person should be removed, so statement C is not true in this context. The grounds that need no reference are the three listed in the proviso to Article 317(2), and misbehaviour is not one of them.
