840 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
other posts. There is therefore a double disqualification. There is no permission to continue them in their office, nor is there provision for their appointment in any other posts. Now, the only exceptions, that is to say, cases where they could be appointed are these :
The Chairman of a State Public Services Commission is permitted to be a Chairman or a Member of the Union Commission, or a Chairman of any other State Commission.
Secondly, the Members of the Union Commission can become Chairman of the Union Commission or any other State Commission.
Thirdly, the Members of the State Commission can become a Chairman or a member of the Union Commission, or the Chairman of a State Commission.
In other words, the exceptions are : namely, that one man, who is a Member of the Union Public Services Commission, may become a Chairman of the State Public Services Commission can become a Chairman of the Union Public Services Commission, or become a Member of the Union Public Services Commission. The principal point to be noted is this, that neither the Chairman nor the Member of a State Commission can have employment under the same State. He can be appointed by another State as a Chairman or he can be appointed by the Central Government as the Chairman of the Union Public Services Commission or a Member of the Union Public Services Commission., the object being not to permit the State to exercise any patronage in die matter either of giving continued employment in the same post, or in any other post, so that it is hoped that with these provisions the Members of the Commission will be as independent as they are expected to be.
I do not think there is any other point which calls for explanation.
Shri Lakshminarayan Sahu : What about Members of Joint Commissions ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : A Joint Commission is the State Commission. That is defined in clause (4) of article 284.
Dr. Monomohan Das (West Bengal : General) : I would like to be clear on some points about 285-A. If the Supreme Court as being referred by the President reports that the Chairman or some other Member of the Public Service Commission should be removed, then will it be obligatory on the part of the President to remove him ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Certainly.
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : You have asked the honourable Member to explain to the House the difference between the new draft and the original. That would have been helpful for a proper appreciation of the real changes.
