Who accepted the resignation of Dr. L. Murugan from the Union Council of Ministers?
The President of India accepted the resignation of Dr. L. Murugan under clause (2) of Article 75 of the Constitution of India. This is a provision for the President to accept the resignation of a Minister.
Consider the following statements regarding Acceptance of Resignation by the President: 1. The President of India accepted the resignation of Dr. L. Murugan from the Union Council of Ministers with immediate effect. 2. The resignation was accepted under clause (2) of Article 75 of the Constitution of India. 3. The President of India accepted the resignation of Dr. L. Murugan from the Union Council of Ministers with 3 days' notice. How many of the above statements are correct?
Statement 1 is true because it directly states that the President accepted Dr. L. Murugan's resignation. Statement 2 is true because it mentions the specific clause under which the resignation was accepted. Statement 3 is false because it contradicts the fact that the resignation was accepted with immediate effect, not with 3 days' notice.
Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: The President of India accepted the resignation of Dr. L. Murugan from the Union Council of Ministers with immediate effect. Statement-II: The resignation of Dr. L. Murugan was accepted under clause (2) of Article 75 of the Constitution of India. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
The fact that the resignation was accepted under clause (2) of Article 75 explains why the President accepted the resignation with immediate effect. This is because clause (2) specifically deals with the resignation of a Minister, and the President's acceptance of the resignation is a direct consequence of this clause.
