Which one of the following statements about the Attorney-General of India is NOT correct?

The Attorney-General of India (AG) is appointed by the President and must be qualified to be appointed as a judge of the Supreme Court [2]. Under Article 76(4), the AG holds office during the pleasure of the President and receives remuneration as determined by the President [2]. Statement 2 is incorrect because, according to Article 76(3), the Attorney-General has the right of audience in all courts within the territory of India, not just the Supreme Court and High Courts [2]. This broad right allows the AG to represent the Union government in any judicial forum across the country. Additionally, while the AG can participate in parliamentary proceedings and committees, they do not possess the right to vote [3]. The office is not a permanent or whole-time government servant position, and the AG may continue private legal practice provided there is no conflict of interest with the Government of India [2].
