How can the conditions of service for the State Election Commissioner not be varied to his or her disadvantage after appointment?
The conditions of service for the State Election Commissioner cannot be varied to their disadvantage after appointment because they are protected by law. According to Article 243K(2), the Governor may determine the conditions of service and tenure of office of the State Election Commissioner through rules, but once appointed, these conditions cannot be changed in a way that would harm or negatively impact the Commissioner's position. This protection is similar to how a Judge of a High Court cannot be removed from their position except on certain specified grounds.
