		<description>What is the background of Article 361(2)? Is it only historically convenient that "King can do no wrong" or it is for the dignity of the country in the international forum? May I please have some source/reference with the answers that I may get</description>

		<description>KK,

If you see my last post, I begin by referring to this Article of the Constitution:

"For that a PIL could be filed only in the Supreme Court by virtue of Art.71 of the Constitution which states that all disputes connected with the election of the President can be entertained only by the SC."

Realitycheck,

The import of Art 361(2) has been explained by the SC in the Union Carbide Corporation case (Bhopal Gas Tragedy): 

"Article 361(2) of the Constitution confers on the President and the Governors immunity even in respect of their personal acts and enjoins that no criminal proceedings shall be instituted against them during their term of office."

To elaborate further, this immunity [361(2)]is not linked to the President's official duties[unlike 361(1)]. This read together with the RPI Act[s.8] would mean that now it is too late to initiate anything against her in terms of a process of criminal justice so as to disqualify her and if we do initiate anything the same will not be allowed to be 'continued' during her tenure.

Hence, seeking her disqualification by way of the PIL in the SC is the only way out because any other ploy to embarass the UPA/her would be futile being too late in the day !</description>

		<description>Ninad,

Could you throw some light on the immunities enjoyed by the president under Art 361 ? What is the meaning of the "two-months notice" clause in the said article ? I have put together some thoughts here. See end of post http://realitycheck.wordpress.com/2007/06/25/presidential-spin-attempts/




The best course of action, and indeed the most democratic one is the embarassment route.</description>

		<description>Good work.

Well, there is a clause in the constitution which says,

"Matters relating to, or connected with, the election of a
President or Vice-President.- (1) All doubts and disputes arising out
of or in connection with the election of a President or Vice-President
shall be inquired into and decided by the Supreme Court whose decision
shall be final."
