Real questions that test this

भारतीय निर्वाचन आयोगाबाबत खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान चुकीचे आहे ? Which one of the following statements about Election Commission of India is false ?

1)केवळ मुख्य निर्वाचन आयुक्तांना आपल्या कार्यकाळाची सुरक्षितता आहे, परंतू इतर निर्वाचन आयुक्तांना तशी सुरक्षितता नाही. / Only the Chief Election Commissioner has a security of tenure but not to the other Election Commissioners.

2)मुख्य निर्वाचन आयुक्तांचे स्थान अथवा दर्जा हा सर्वोच्च न्यायालयाच्या न्यायाधीश समान आहे. / The Chief Election Commissioner holds the position or status of a judge of the Supreme Court.✓ Correct

3)मुख्य निर्वाचन आयुक्त हे केवळ समानांतील प्रमुख आहेत. / The Chief Election Commissioner is merely first among equals.

4)जर एखाद्या बाबतीत मुख्य निर्वाचन आयुक्त आणि इतर निर्वाचन आयुक्त यांच्यामध्ये मतभेद निर्माण झाले तर त्या बाबींचा निर्णय बहुमताने घेतला जातो. / In case of difference of opinion amongst the Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners, the matter is decided by majority.

The Chief Election Commissioner does not hold the exact status of a Supreme Court judge in terms of impeachment removal parity across all dimensions, or rather other election commissioners do have tenure protection making statement 2 or 1 notable. Specifically, statement 2 is false as CEC status and removal procedures have distinct constitutional nuances compared strictly to SC judges.
