Which of the following state- ments as per the Constitution of India are not correct? 1. The President tenders his resignation to the Chief Justice of India. 2. The Vice-President tenders his resignation to the President of India. 3. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India is removed from his office in the like manner as the President of India. 4. A Judge of the Supreme Court can resign his office by writing under his hand addressed to the Chief Justice of India. Select the correct answer using the code given below-

Under Article 56, the President of India addresses their resignation to the Vice-President, not the Chief Justice of India [1]. Statement 1 is therefore incorrect. Statement 2 is correct as the Vice-President resigns by writing to the President under Article 67 . Statement 3 is incorrect because the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) is removed from office in the same manner and on the same grounds as a Judge of the Supreme Court (Article 148), which involves a parliamentary address rather than the specific impeachment process used for the President . Statement 4 is incorrect because a Supreme Court Judge addresses their resignation to the President of India, not the Chief Justice, as per Article 124. Since statements 1, 3, and 4 are incorrect, option 4 is the correct choice.
