Q6952. The concept of "Office of Profit" acts as a major ground for disqualification of an MLA. According to the Constitution of India, who possesses the ultimate authority to declare which offices do not disqualify their holders from being members of the State Legislature?
Explanation
The State Legislature holds the power to enact laws that determine which specific offices of profit will not disqualify a person from being a member. This legislative authority allows the state to define exemptions based on administrative needs. While the Governor makes the final decision on disqualification, the underlying legal criteria are established through statutes passed by the Assembly itself.

Q6953. Given below are two statements, one labeled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).

Explanation
International tourism is a vital source of foreign exchange for Rajasthan, even though the number of foreign visitors is lower than domestic ones.

Q6959. Read the following statements carefully: Statement I: If any question arises as to whether an MLA has become subject to disqualification under Article 191(1), the Governor’s decision shall be final. Statement II: Before giving any decision on such a question, the Governor is required to obtain the opinion of the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers. Which of the following is correct?
Explanation
For disqualifications arising under Article 191(1), the Governor’s decision is considered final.

This ensures an impartial process regarding the eligibility of legislative members.
