SSC CHSL - 10 July 2024 - Shift 4 • General Awareness • Q34

Back to paper

On 12 February 2023, the President of India appointed the Governor of states. Which of the following is NOT correctly matched?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3  i.e. Shiv Pratap Shukla - Himachal Pradesh.

The incorrectly matched pair is S. Abdul Nazeer – Bihar. On 12 February 2023, the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, appointed S. Abdul Nazeer as the Governor of Andhra Pradesh, not Bihar.

The other appointments are correct:

  • Phagu Chauhan was appointed as the Governor of Meghalaya (he previously served as Bihar’s Governor).

  • Ramesh Bais became the Governor of Maharashtra.

  • Shiv Pratap Shukla was appointed as the Governor of Himachal Pradesh.

These appointments were part of a major reshuffle of governors across several states. Notably, S. Abdul Nazeer, a former Supreme Court judge, was one of the key members of the Ayodhya verdict bench before his retirement in January 2023.
