 Reading Comprehension
Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi appears to be on a mission to demonstrate his tenuous
grasp of the Constitution. In an action without precedent — and, as it turns out, without
forethought — he sent out a communication to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, M.K.
Stalin, that he had dismissed V. Senthilbalaji, a State Minister without Portfolio, who is
in hospital and in judicial custody. Within hours, on the advice of the Union Home
Minister, he again wrote to the Chief Minister that he was holding the order in abeyance
and was, instead, seeking the opinion of the Attorney General of India. One would have
thought that a Governor expected to abide by constitutional norms would have
obtained appropriate legal opinion prior to his drastic action. That Mr. Ravi had to be
advised to seek ex post facto legal opinion reflects poorly on his decision-making
prowess. His letter says he was invoking Articles 153, 163 and 164 of the Constitution,
which deal with the executive power of the State being vested in the Governor, his
acting on the Cabinet’s aid and advice, and the appointment of the Chief Minister and
other Ministers. The constitutional scheme set out in these articles gives no room for
doubt that the Governor has no discretion in the matter of appointing and removing
ministers, which is under the Chief Minister’s domain.
English & Editorial by Vishal Parihar sir
 Reading Comprehension
Mr. Ravi has sought to justify the extraordinary action by referring to the allegations
against the Minister and the Supreme Court of India’s observations in a recent order.
However, any call to remove a Minister is an appeal to moral sense rather than a legal
requirement. For the Governor to remove someone unilaterally on the ground that his
earlier counsel to drop a Minister went unheeded is nothing but a constitutional
misadventure. It will be desirable if Ministers facing charges quit on their own, or they
are removed by the respective Chief Ministers. In the past, the framing of charges in the
trial court has led to Ministers being removed, but it remains a moral high ground, and
not a mandatory feature of the constitutional system. Few would disagree that the
charges of bribery that Mr. Senthilbalaji faces, dating back to his stint in the erstwhile All
India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam regime, and allegations of laundering the
proceeds are serious enough to merit his stepping down until he is cleared of charges.
Mr. Stalin could have acted on his own to avoid facing the charge that he is providing a
“shield of office” for the Minister to protect himself or that the Minister’s presence in
the Cabinet is obstructing the due process of law. But nothing can excuse the Governor’s
misadventure.
