consequences of the proclamation of the President’s rule

96) Which of the following are not necessarily the consequences of the proclamation of the President’s rule in a State?

1. Dissolution of the State Legislative Assembly
2. Removal of the Council of Ministers in the State
3. Dissolution of the local bodies

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

(a) 1 and 2 only

(b) 1 and 3 only

(c) 2 and 3 only

(d) 1, 2 and 3

Solution: (b) 1 and 3 only

When the President’s Rule is imposed in a state, the President dismisses the state council of ministers headed by the chief minister. The President can either suspend or dissolve the Legislative assembly, so 1 is not necessarily the consequence of proclamation.
