| Select the correct answer using the codes given below. |
A) Only 1
B) 1 and 2
C) Only 3
D) All of these
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
[d] Statement 1 is incorrect. Under a financial emergency salaries of any person in public office can be reduced even when the constitutional provision for that particular post provides for not reducing the salaries of that post after appointment of a person to that post. Statement 2 is also incorrect because the provision under financial emergency talks of ability to reserve the Money Bills and other Financial Bills passed by a State Legislature for the consideration of the President after they are passed by the State Legislature. Proclamation of emergency does not require repeated Parliament approval and can be revoked by the President anytime and thus, statement 3 is also incorrect and the right answer is [d].
