योग्य कथन/ने ओळखा.
अ. राज्य निवडणूक आयुक्ताची नियुक्ती ही राज्याच्या राज्यपालाद्वारे केली जाते.
ब. राज्य निवडणूक आयुक्ताची पदच्युती राज्यपाल करू शकतो.

The correct answer is Option A (Only A).

Key Points:
• State Election Commissioner (Article 243K):
• Under Article 243K(1) of the Constitution of India, the superintendence, direction, and control of the preparation of electoral rolls for, and the conduct of, all elections to the Panchayats and Municipalities shall be vested in a State Election Commission consisting of a State Election Commissioner to be appointed by the Governor. Hence, Statement A is correct.
• Under the proviso to Article 243K(2), the State Election Commissioner shall not be removed from his office except in like manner and on the like grounds as a Judge of a High Court. This means removal requires an order of the President of India following an address by both Houses of Parliament supported by a special majority on grounds of proved misbehaviour or incapacity. The Governor cannot remove the State Election Commissioner. Hence, Statement B is incorrect.
• Therefore, only statement A is correct.
• Key Takeaway: The State Election Commissioner is appointed by the Governor but can be removed only like a High Court Judge (by the President).
