    Examine the following statements regarding 'Article 311' of the Constitution and the protection granted to Civil Servants:

    1. AOnly 1 and 2
    2. BOnly 1, 2 and 3
    3. COnly 3 and 4
    4. D1, 2, 3 and 4
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    Statements 1, 2 and 3 correctly capture Article 311's safeguards: no civil servant can be dismissed by an authority subordinate to the appointing one, none can be removed without being told the charges and given an inquiry, and the President or Governor can dispense with the inquiry in the interest of state security. Statement 4 is wrong because this protection covers all civil servants of the Union and the States, not just All India Services officers.
