Discussion
Identify the wrong statement with regard to the Power of President of India.
Answer: C
The wrong statement is absolute power to appoint inferior officers.
The President's powers are exercised on the advice of the Council of Ministers (Article 74), and appointments to the services are governed by law and rules made under the Constitution. So the President has no absolute power to appoint officers, and the word 'absolute' makes the statement wrong.
The other three are genuine powers. The President appoints ministers on the Prime Minister's advice (Article 75). Article 72 empowers the President to pardon in cases of sentence by court martial. Article 85 empowers the President to summon each House of Parliament.
