Among the judicial powers, the President cannot _______________.
A. grant pardon
B. grant reprieve
C. grant respite
D. grant change of court

Answer 1

Hint: The president of India, formally the President of the Republic of India, is the traditional leader of the state of India and the Commander-in-chief of the Indian Armed Forces. The president is chosen by an electoral college including the Parliament of India (both houses) and the legislative assemblies of each of India's states and lands, who themselves are all unswervingly chosen.

Complete answer:
The main responsibility of the president is to protect, defend, and guard the constitution and the law of India per Article 60. The president assigns the Chief Justice of India and other judges on the guidance of the chief justice. He terminates the judges if and only if the two Houses of the parliament authorize declarations to that outcome by a two-thirds mass of the associates in attendance. The Indian government's chief legal counsel, Attorney General of India, is selected by the president of India under Article 76(1) and holds office throughout the preference of the president. If the president deliberates an interrogation of law or a matter of public significance has risen, he can also solicit for the advisory view of the supreme court per Article 143. Per Article 88, the president can solicit the attorney general to appear in the parliamentary procedures and account to him any illegitimate operation, if any.

Thus, option (D) is correct.

Note: Supreme court shall question and resolve concerning all qualms and disagreements ascending out of or in association with the election of a president per Article 71(1) of the constitution. The Supreme Court can eradicate the president for electoral misconducts or upon being not qualified to be Lok Sabha associate under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Vassal to Article 71 (3), parliament made appropriate guidelines/process to appeal the supreme court for settling the disagreements only that ascend throughout the election procedure of the president but not the qualms that ascend from his unconstitutional activities/performances or altering Indian citizenship throughout the term of the president which may disrupt the necessary election credentials.
