Question
Consider the following statements:.
1. Attorney General of India and Solicitor General of India are the only officers of the Government who are allowed to participate in the meetings of the Parliament of India.
2. According to the Constitution of India, the Attorney General of India submits his resignation when the Government which appointed him resigns.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect: Under Article 88, this right to speak in Parliament belongs to the Attorney General and Union Ministers — the Solicitor General has no such constitutional privilege.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Article 76 says the AG holds office during the pleasure of the President; there’s no constitutional requirement to resign along with an outgoing government (that’s only a loose convention in practice).
