Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) I and II
Article 76(1) provides that the Attorney-General is appointed by the President and must possess the qualifications of a Supreme Court judge. The Constitution does not require him to be a member of either House, and he holds office during the President’s pleasure—not by an impeachment process—so only statements I and II are correct.
