Cevap

The correct statements are that the State Election Commissioner is appointed by the Governor and removed like a High Court Judge, and that the State Finance Commission is constituted every five years by the Governor under Article 243-I.
The statements describing the removal procedure of the State Election Commissioner (same as a High Court Judge under Article 243K) and the constitution of the State Finance Commission by the Governor every five years (under Article 243-I) accurately state constitutional facts under Part IX.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the provision regarding the State Election Commission (Article 243K)
Article 243K(2) specifies that the Governor appoints the State Election Commissioner, and conditions of service/tenure cannot be varied to their disadvantage after appointment. Removal requires the same procedure as a High Court Judge.
Ensures independence of the election machinery at the local governance level.
2
Examine the tenure rule for Panchayats constituted after premature dissolution (Article 243E)
Article 243E(4) explicitly states that a Panchayat elected after early dissolution serves only the remaining portion of the original 5-year tenure.
Prevents alignment shifts and maintains synchronization of electoral cycles.
3
Check the structural tiers mandate under Article 243B
Article 243B(2) provides an exemption: states with a population below 20 lakhs need not establish the intermediate level tier.
Provides administrative flexibility for smaller states.
4
Verify the provisions for the State Finance Commission under Article 243-I
Article 243-I requires the Governor to constitute a State Finance Commission every five years to advise on fiscal devolution to local bodies.
Ensures financial autonomy and structured resource transfer to Panchayats.
