Article 361(1) makes the Governor not answerable to any court for acts done in the exercise of official powers, and Article 361(2) bars criminal proceedings against a sitting Governor; hence statements I and II are correct. Article 194(2) grants members of a State Legislature absolute immunity from court proceedings for anything said or any vote given in the House, making statement III correct. Therefore all three statements are true. ([indiankanoon.org](https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1470888/))
