महाधिवक्त्या बद्दल खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान असत्य आहे ?
(1) 'महाधिवक्त्याची' नियुक्ती भारताचे राष्ट्रपती करतात
(2) राज्यपालांनी त्यांना संदर्भीत केलेल्या अशा कायदेशीर बाबींवर ते राज्यसरकारला सल्ला देतात
(3) राज्यपालांनी त्यांना नेमून दिलेली कायदेशीर वैशिष्टचे असलेली अशी इतर कर्तव्ये ते पार पाडतात
(4) संविधान किंवा इतर कोणत्याही कायद्याने त्यांना दिलेली कार्ये ते पार पाडतात

The correct answer is Option A (The 'Advocate General' is appointed by the President of India).

Key Points:
• The Advocate General is the highest law officer in the state (Article 165).
• Appointment: The Advocate General is appointed by the Governor of the State, NOT the President of India. Hence, Statement (1) is incorrect.
• Qualifications: Must be a person qualified to be appointed as a Judge of a High Court.
• Tenure: Holds office during the pleasure of the Governor. The Constitution does not contain the fixed tenure or grounds for removal.
• Duties: Advises the state government upon legal matters referred by the Governor, performs other duties assigned by the Governor, and discharges constitutional/statutory functions.
• MPSC Trap: Attorney General (Art. 76) is appointed by the President, whereas Advocate General (Art. 165) is appointed by the Governor.
• Revision Note:
• Advocate General (Art. 165) is appointed by the Governor of the State and holds office during the Governor's pleasure.
