10POINTER- In a recent spate of dispute between Kerala Governor and State Government, the Governor has also sought his dismissal from his Cabinet, declaring that he has withdrawn the ?pleasure? of having him in the Council of Ministers. About Doctrine of Pleasure: The doctrine of pleasure has its origins in English law. In England, the moral rule is that a civil servant of the Crown holds office during the pleasure of the Crown. This means his services can be terminated at any time by the Crown, without assigning any reason. Article 310 of the Indian constitution incorporates the common law doctrine of pleasure.
