Consider the following statements regarding the posts of 'Attorney General' and 'Solicitor General' of India:
- AOnly 1, 2 and 4
- BOnly 2 and 3
- COnly 1 and 4
- D1, 2, 3 and 4
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
The Attorney General is the government's chief legal advisor appointed by the President, can speak in both Houses without a vote, and holds office during the President's pleasure, so statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct. The Solicitor General's post is statutory, not a constitutional post like the Attorney General's, so statement 3 is wrong.
