Explanation:

• The Constituent Assembly resolved that the head of state, named Sadr-e-Riyasat, would be elected by the Legislative Assembly for a term of five years and recognised by the President of India.
• Only a permanent resident of J&K could become Sadr-e-Riyasat. Once elected by the Legislative Assembly, the Sadr-e-Riyasat had to be recognised and then appointed by the President of India. In 1965, the J&K Constitution was amended (Sixth Constitution of J&K Amendment Act, 1965) by the government, which replaced the position of Sadr-e-Riyasat with the centrally nominated Governor on March 30, 1965.
• Karan Singh, son of Hari Singh has been the only Sadr-e-Riyasat, serving from November 17, 1952, until the post was abolished. Subsequently, he became the first Governor too.
