THE ignominious exit of Sheila Kaul, Motilal Vora and P. Shiv Shankar within a space of 10 days has once again put the spotlight on the institution of the Governor. The three worthies were the representatives of the President in the states of Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Kerala. And they all had to step down unceremoniously after the Central Bureau of Investigation found prima facie evidence of their involvement in the housing and the hawala scams, a development which could not possibly have brought glory either to their own offices or to that of the President.
