Talk:Chief secretary (India)

Please change the part related to appointing authority of chief secretary of a state because it is not the complete information and can be deceiving
The page named "Chief Secretary of India" is being edited by students for meeting their own needs. The authentic information is being tampered with. I am providing the link for SC judgement which says CM is the appointing authority. Kindly change the data. Students are changing it to "Governor" just to get their answer correct in the examination which was conducted recently. http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/more-constitutional-than-political/article7236281.ece The relevant laws The laws relevant to understanding the relation between the Lieutenant Governor and the Chief Minister in Delhi are Article 239AA of the Constitution, the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991 (GNCT Act), the rules formulated under this Act (Transaction of Business Rules), and the relevant judicial pronouncements. It needs to be said that the precise contours of the sharing of powers between the Lieutenant Governor and the Delhi government are a grey area. Yet, a reasonable case may be made to suggest that the Lieutenant Governor’s discretionary powers do not extend to the appointment of the Chief Secretary without the “aid and advice” of the Chief Minister and his Council of Ministers. Further, it will be argued that the Home Ministry notification may not stand the test of constitutionality, being ultra vires of Article 239AA of the Constitution. As far as States are concerned, the Chief Secretary is appointed by the Chief Minister and the Ministers. The reasoning for this can be found in these landmark Supreme Court judgments. E.P. Royappa (1974) states that “The post of Chief Secretary is a highly sensitive post…[Chief Secretary is a] lynchpin in the administration and smooth functioning of the administration requires that there should be complete rapport and understanding between the Chief Secretary and the Chief Minister. …” Similarly, Salil Sabhlok (2013) says: “it may be necessary for [the] Chief Minister of a State to appoint a ‘suitable’ person as a Chief Secretary or the Director General of Police…because both the State Government or the Chief Minister and the appointee share a similar vision of the administrative goals and requirements of the State. The underlying premise also is that the State Government or the Chief Minister has confidence that the appointee will deliver the goods, as it were, and both are administratively quite compatible with each other. If there is a loss of confidence or the compatibility comes to an end…” These precedents clarify the rationale that the Chief Minister ought to have the discretion to appoint Chief Secretaries in the interest of a smooth functioning representative government.

❌ First, examinations in India do not use Wikipedia as their source to determine whether or not an answer to a question is right or wrong. Second, the direct copying of text into an article without attributation in the way you did repeatedly is a copy right violation, and furthers my reasoning for having it removed. Finally, their are reliable sources in the article, which you have repeatedly removed, which show that Chief Secretaries are appointed by a state's Governor upon the advice of the Chief Minister.

Orphaned references in Chief Secretary (India)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Chief Secretary (India)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "7 Pay Commission Report": From Secretary to Government of India:  From Joint Secretary to Government of India:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 18:27, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
