Article 317 also mentions insolvency as a ground on which the President may remove a Public Service Commission Chairman or member. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is true under Article 317(1). Statement 2 is false because misbehaviour removal is by the President after Supreme Court reference and report, not by the Governor alone. Statement 3 is true because Article 317(3)(a) lists insolvency.

Statement 3 is incorrect because the President appoints members of the Union Commission or a Joint Commission, not a State Commission.
