Which of the following appointments are made by the President of India by warrant under his hand and seal?

(a) Judges of the Supreme Court of India

(b) Governor of a State

(c) Chairman of the Union Public Service Commission

(d) Attorney-General of India

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under the Constitution of India, the Judges of the Supreme Court (Article 124(2)), the Judges of High Courts (Article 217(1)), the Comptroller and Auditor-General of India (Article 148(1)), and the Governor of a State (Article 155) are expressly appointed by the President “by warrant under his hand and seal.” By contrast, the Chairman of the UPSC (Article 316) and the Attorney-General for India (Article 76) are appointed by the President without the constitutional requirement of a warrant under his hand and seal. Thus, (a) and (b) is correct.
