Election for the post of the President of India can be postponed on the ground that some Legislative Assemblies have been dissolved and elections are yet to take place. 3.

(d)None
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) None
Statement 1 is wrong because Article 71(2) explicitly protects the validity of acts done by a President whose election is later declared void. Statement 2 is wrong—the election cannot be postponed merely because some State Assemblies are dissolved; Article 62 requires that the election be held before the term expires. Statement 3 is wrong—Article 111 lays down no time-limit for presidential assent. Therefore none of the three statements is correct.
