Question

Which of the following is not matched?

• A. Article 54 : Presidential election
• B. Article 55 : Manner of Presidential Election
• C. Article 60 : Procedure for impeachment of the President
• D. Article 123 : Power of the President to promulgate ordinance

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine which of the following articles is not correctly matched with its description, we need to understand the constitutional provisions related to each of these articles of the Indian Constitution:

1. Article 54: This article deals with the election of the President of India. The President is elected by an electoral college consisting of the elected members of both Houses of Parliament, as well as the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of States and Union territories.
2. Article 55: This article specifies the manner of the election of the President. It elaborates on how the votes are calculated to ensure uniformity among the states and parity between the center and the states.
3. Article 60: This article is about the oath or affirmation by the President before entering upon his office. It is not related to the procedure for the impeachment of the President, as the option suggests.
4. Article 123: This gives the President the power to promulgate ordinances when the Parliament is not in session, ensuring that urgent legislation can be enacted.

From the explanations above, it is clear that:

• Article 54 and Article 55 accurately match their descriptions.
• Article 123 is correctly described as the power of the President to promulgate ordinances.
• Article 60 does not concern the procedure for impeachment of the President. The procedure for impeachment is actually detailed in Articles 61 and subsequent articles.

Hence, the statement "Article 60: Procedure for impeachment of the President" is incorrect as it is mismatched.

Therefore, the correct answer is Article 60 : Procedure for impeachment of the President.
