Answer: Option A. -> 1 and 3 only
:
A
Explanation:
Statement 1 and 3 are correct: Our Constitution ensures that persons accused of various offences would also get sufficient protection. We often tend to believe that anyone who is charged with some offence is guilty. However, no one is guilty unless the court has found that person guilty of an offence. It is also necessary that a person accused of any crime should get adequate opportunity to defend herself or himself. To ensure a fair trial in courts,the Constitution has provided three rights:

• No person would be punished for the same offence more than once,


• No law shall declare any action as illegal from a backdate, an


• No person shall be asked to give evidence against himself or herself.

Statement 2 is Incorrect: Ordinarily, a person would be arrested after he or she has reportedly committed some offence. However there are exceptions to this.Sometimes a person can be arrested simply out of an apprehension that he or she is likely to engage in unlawful activity and imprisoned for some time without following the above mentioned procedure. This Is known as preventive detention. It means that if the government feels that a person can be a threat to law and order or to the peace and security of the nation, it can detain or arrest that person.

Answer: Option C. -> Qualified Veto
:
C
Explanation:
Option (a) is incorrect: When the President exercises his absolute veto, a bill never sees the day of the light. The bill ends even after passed by the Indian Parliament and does not become an act.
Option (b) is incorrect: Under Pocket veto bill is kept pending by the President for an indefinite period when he exercises his pocket veto.
He neither rejects the bill nor returns the bill for reconsideration.
The Constitution does not give any time-limit to the President within which he has to act upon the bill. Therefore, the President uses his pocket veto where he doesn’t have to act upon the bill.
Option (c) is correct: In India, the president has three veto powers i.e. absolute, suspension & pocket. He does not exercise Qualified Veto, which is overridden by majority, as in the case of American President.
Option (d) is incorrect: President uses his suspensive veto when he returns the bill to the Indian Parliament for its reconsideration.
Note: If the Parliament resends the bill with or without amendment to the Indian President, he has to approve the bill without using any of his veto powers.
