Who among the following is not appointed by the Governor of Haryana?

Under the Constitution of India, appointing power for key State-level posts is split between the State Governor and the President of India (Union Executive). The Governor appoints functionaries such as the Chief Minister, State Public Service Commission members, and State Human Rights Commission members under specific constitutional or statutory provisions, but appointments to the High Court bench are made exclusively by the President under Article 217, not the Governor.

Checking each option against its actual appointing authority:

• Chief Minister of Haryana — appointed by the Governor under Article 164(1) of the Constitution.

• A Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court — appointed by the President of India under Article 217, after consultation with the Chief Justice of India, the Governor of the State, and (for judges other than the Chief Justice) the Chief Justice of that High Court.

• A member of the Haryana Public Service Commission — appointed by the Governor under Article 316(1) of the Constitution.

• A member of the Haryana Human Rights Commission — appointed by the Governor under Section 22 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, on the recommendation of a committee comprising the Chief Minister, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, the Home Minister, and the Leader of the Opposition.

Three of the four posts — Chief Minister, Public Service Commission member, and Human Rights Commission member — are filled through direct or advised action of the State Governor, while the High Court judge's appointment is made at the level of the Union Executive. This confirms that the odd one out — the official NOT appointed by the Governor — is the Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Hence, the correct answer is: A Judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court.
