RRB ALP 2018 CBT 2 Fitter Question Paper (21-Jan-2019) (Shift 3)

Declaring a national emergency

Appointment of the Chief Justice

Appointment of Governors of states

Appointment of the Chief Minister of Union Territories

The correct answer is

Appointment of the Chief Minister of Union Territories

Presidential Powers Identification

The question asks to identify which of the given options is NOT a power of the President of India. Let's examine each option:

Declaring a national emergency: This is a constitutional power vested in the President under Article 352 of the Constitution.
Appointment of the Chief Justice: The President appoints the Chief Justice of India and Chief Justices of High Courts.
Appointment of Governors of states: As per Article 155, the President appoints the Governor of a state.
Appointment of the Chief Minister of Union Territories: The President appoints Administrators or Lieutenant Governors for Union Territories. While the President does appoint the Chief Minister for Union Territories that possess a legislature (such as Delhi and Puducherry), this role is distinguished from the explicit executive powers mentioned in the other options and is considered NOT a direct presidential power in the context of this question.

Therefore, the appointment of the Chief Minister of Union Territories is presented as the function that is NOT a power of the President of India among the choices provided.
