Oscar Lobo: And by the way, I was asked "Why do we have a Sikh as the Governor 
of Goa? Don't we have reputable Goans left in Goa for this position? How can 
one 
respect our identity with a Governor from other state?  Response from Marshall: 
As per the Constitution or maybe practice (I need to check and confirm) persons 
from the same state cannot be appointed as Governors. However,  a few days ago 
Fredertick posted a news item that the head of the State Human Rights 
Commission 
was a retired justice from Bihar.This I am not able to fathom why a person from 
Bihar needed to be appointed in Goa. 

Comment from Vasant:
There is no Constitutional Bar on any person being appointed as Governor of any 
state-General Sunith Francis Rodrigues was appointed Governor of Punjab in 
2004-Sikhs could ask why a Sikh was not appointed to maintain the Sikh Identity?
Justice Ferdino Inacio Rebello has been appointed Chief Justice of the 
Allahabad 
High Court earlier this year.Why not someone from UP?
