Explanation:
(a) In India, the same person cannot be appointed as Governor for two or more States at the same time. This is to ensure separate representation and administration in different states.
(b) The Judges of the High Court of the States in India are appointed by the President of India in consultation with the Chief Justice of India, not by the Governor of the State. This separation of powers ensures independence of the judiciary.
(c) No specific procedure has been laid down in the Constitution of India for the removal of a Governor from their post. This provides flexibility and allows the President to exercise discretionary powers if the need for removal arises.
(d) In the case of a Union Territory having a legislative setup, the Chief Minister is appointed by the Lt. Governor. However, the appointment is not solely based on majority support. The Lt. Governor exercises discretion considering various factors, including political considerations.
