Comptroller and Auditor-General of India, the Chairman or other member of the Union
or a State Public Service Commission or the Chief Election Commissioner, nothing in
sub-clause (a) or sub-clause (b) shall be construed as empowering Parliament to vary or
revoke, after his appointment to such post, the conditions of his service to his
disadvantage except in so far as such conditions of service are applicable to him by
reason of his being a person appointed by the Secretary of State or Secretary of State in
Council to a civil service of the Crown in India.
(2) Except to the extent provided for by Parliament by law under this article, nothing in
this article shall affect the power of any Legislature or other authority under any other
