Which of the following is not a safeguard available to a member of Civil Service of Union or of a State?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Article 311 protects against dismissal or removal by an authority subordinate to the appointing authority and ordinarily requires an inquiry with notice of charges and an opportunity of hearing. A promise or declaration not to repeat misconduct is not one of those constitutional safeguards. Article 311(2) also contains specified exceptions to the ordinary inquiry requirement, so the listed procedural safeguards are not unconditional in every case.
