A1 and 3
B1 and 4
C1, 2 and 3 ✓ Correct
D1, 2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (C) 1, 2 and 3 — Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
Explanation
★Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
★The Chief Election Commissioner can be removed only by the same process as a Supreme Court judge.
★Other Election Commissioners can be removed on the recommendation of the Chief Election Commissioner.
★The CAG is also removed only by the judge-like process of an address by Parliament.
★Statement 4 is wrong, because the UPSC chairperson is not removed by this process.
★The UPSC chairperson is removed by the President on grounds of misbehaviour after a Supreme Court inquiry.
★So the impeachment-like process applies to the CEC and CAG, but not the UPSC chairperson.
