Correct Answer

Option: b

Explanation

Every person who is a member of a defence service or hold any civil post under the Union, holds office during the pleasure of the President The Doctrine of Pleasure applies to Civil servants. The Doctrine of Pleasure is embodied in India in Article 310. Article 310 of the Constitution of India, 1950 provides for Tenure of office of persons serving the Union or a State It states that (1) Except as expressly provided by this Constitution, every person who is a member of a defence service or of a civil service of the Union or of an all India service or holds any post connected with defence or any civil post under the Union, holds office during the pleasure of the President, and every person who is a member of a civil service of a State or holds any civil post under a State holds office during the pleasure of the Governor of the State. Therefore, when there is a specific provision in the Constitution granting a tenure different from that provided under Article 310, then that servant would be excluded from the operation of the pleasure doctrine The following cate gories of persons are expressly excluded by the Constitution from the rule of Pleasure. They are as follows- 1 Judges of the Supreme Court (Article 124) 2. Auditor General (Article 148). 3. Judges of the High Court (Articles 217, 218) 4. A Member of Public Service Commission (Article 317). 5. The Chiel Election Commissioner (Article 324).
