वरीलपैकी कोणते विधान ने बरोबर आहे/त ?

The correct answer is Option C ((a), (b) and (c)).

Key Points:
• Constitutional immunities and comparative roles of the President and Governor:
• Statement (a) is correct: Under Article 361(1), the President or the Governor is not answerable to any court for the exercise and performance of the powers and duties of his office or for any act done in performance of those duties.
• Statement (b) is correct: Under Article 361(2), no criminal proceedings whatsoever can be instituted or continued against the President or a Governor in any court during their term of office.
• Statement (c) is correct: The President is largely a titular/constitutional head acting almost strictly on ministerial advice (bound under Article 74(1)), making the office primarily ceremonial. By contrast, the Governor is not only a ceremonial head but also has real constitutional discretionary powers under Article 163(1) and (2) (functional role), such as reserving bills for the President (Article 200) and recommending President's Rule (Article 356).
• Hence, all statements (a), (b), and (c) are correct.
• Key Takeaway: Article 361 provides personal immunity from courts and criminal suits to the Governor, whose office carries active constitutional discretion.
