Regarding the appointment and removal of the Chief Minister,Article 164(i) of the Indian Constitution states: " The CM shall be appointed by the Governor and the other Ministers shall be appointed by the Governor on the advice of the CM ,and the Ministers hold office during the pleasure of the Governor." The article doesn't throw much light on the appointment of the CM However, it is normally interpreted that the CM must belong to the state legislature and must be able to command a majority in the Legislative Assembly of the state .If there is a party in the Assembly having absolute majority ,the Governor has no alternative but to invites its leader to form the government. In case, due to an undecided poll verdict, no political party secures a clear -cut majority , the Governor can ask the leader of the single largest party to form the government.
Normally, the Chief Minister should belong to the lower chamber (wherever there is a bicameral legislature ) i.e. the Legislative Assembly, but there are no legal restrictions on a member belonging to the Upper House ( Legislative Council) being nominated . But ,as per the provisions of Article 164(4) , a CM. who is not a member of the state legislature can continue as CM for a maximum period of six months and after the expiry of this period he has to vacate his post , in case he is not elected to the state legislature.
