Correct Answer - Option 4 : All of the above

The correct answer is All of the above.

  • Article 317 mentions the removal and suspension of a member of a Public Service Commission.
  • The President, in the case of the Union Commission or a Joint Commission, and the Governor in the case of a State Commission, may suspend from office the Chairman or any other member of the Commission in respect of the case of misbehaviour until the President has passed orders on receipt of the report of the Supreme Court on such reference. Hence, Statement 4 is correct.
  • The President may by order remove from office the Chairman or any other member of a Public Service Commission if the Chairman or such other member, as the case may be,
    • is adjudged an insolvent. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.
    • engages during his term of office in any paid employment outside the duties of his office. Hence, Statement 3 is correct.
    • is, in the opinion of the President, unfit to continue in office because of the infirmity of mind or body. Hence, Statement 2 is correct.
  • The Chairman or any other member of a Public Service Commission shall only be removed from his office by order of the President on the ground of misbehaviour after the Supreme Court, on a reference being made to it by the President, has, on inquiry held following the procedure prescribed in that behalf under Article 145, reported that the Chairman or such other member, as the case may be, ought on any such ground to be removed.
  •  If the Chairman or any other member of a Public Service Commission is or becomes in any way concerned or interested in any contract or agreement made by or on behalf of the Government of India or the Government of a State or participates in any way in the profit thereof or any benefit or emolument arising therefrom otherwise than as a member and in common with the other members of an incorporated company, he shall be deemed to be guilty of misbehaviour.
