संघराज्य अथवा राज्य यांच्या नियंत्रणा खालील नागरी पदावर कार्यरत असणाऱ्या व्यक्तींना बडतर्फ करणे, पदावरून दूर करणे किंवा पदावनत करणे (अनुच्छेद 311) बाबत खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान चुकीचे आहे ? Which one of the following statements about dismissal or removal of persons employed in civil capacities under the Union or State (Article 311) is not correct ?

1)Protection under Article 311 is not available to military personnel.

2)The employees of statutory corporations such as the LIC, ONGC are not entitled to the protection of Article 311.

3)The provisions of Article 311 are applicable to permanent civil servants only and not to temporary servants.✓ Correct

4)Suspension of government servant from service is neither dismissal nor removal and is not within the scope of protection of Article 311.

Article 311 protections against dismissal or removal apply to both permanent AND temporary civil servants once they hold a civil post under the Union or State, making option 3 incorrect since it claims it applies only to permanent servants.
