Discussion
The positions enjoined upon the Chief Secretary of the state are :
(1) Secretary to the Cabinet
(2) Chief advisor to the Chief Minister
(3) Chief of the secretaries
(4) Representative of the state in all legal matters
Select the correct answer by using the codes given below :
Answer: C
The correct code is (1), (2) and (3).
The Chief Secretary is the senior-most civil servant of the state. He acts as secretary to the cabinet, preparing its agenda and recording its decisions; he is the chief adviser to the Chief Minister on administrative matters; and he is the chief of the secretaries, coordinating the work of all departments and presiding over meetings of secretaries.
Statement (4) is wrong. The state is represented in legal matters by the Advocate General, appointed under Article 165, and by the law department, not by the Chief Secretary. Every code containing (4) is therefore wrong, leaving only (1), (2) and (3).
