Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

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.
