In the absence of the President and the Vice President who functions as the acting President of India
Answer: A
The Chief Justice of India acts as President.
Under the President (Discharge of Functions) Act, 1969, when the offices of both the President and the Vice-President are vacant, the Chief Justice of India discharges the President's functions, and in his absence the senior-most available judge of the Supreme Court. This happened in 1969, when Chief Justice M. Hidayatullah acted as President.
The Speaker presides over the Lok Sabha and has no role in this succession; nor does the Attorney General or any senior member of Parliament.
