President's Powers Regarding Parliament

The question asks to identify the statement that is NOT correct concerning the powers of the President of India in relation to the Parliament.

Let's analyze each statement:

• Statement 1: He may dissolve any House of the Parliament.

  The President of India has the power to dissolve the Lok Sabha (the Lower House of Parliament) on the advice of the Prime Minister or Council of Ministers. However, the Rajya Sabha (the Upper House) is a permanent body and cannot be dissolved by the President. Since the statement says "any House" and the President cannot dissolve the Rajya Sabha, this statement is potentially incorrect.

• Statement 2: He has the right to address and send message to both Houses.

  Under Article 86 of the Constitution, the President can address either House of Parliament or both Houses assembled together. Article 85 also allows the President to send messages to either House concerning a Bill pending in Parliament. Therefore, this statement is correct.

• Statement 3: He may prorogue the Houses or either House.

  Article 85(2)(a) of the Indian Constitution empowers the President to prorogue either House of Parliament. Prorogation means the termination of a session of the House. This statement is correct.

• Statement 4: He may call joint sitting of both Houses in certain cases under Article 108.

  Article 108 of the Constitution empowers the President to summon a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament in case of a disagreement between the two Houses on a Bill. Therefore, this statement is correct.

• Statement 5: (This option is empty and thus irrelevant).

Identifying the Incorrect Statement

Based on the constitutional provisions:

• The President can address and send messages to both Houses (correct).
• The President can prorogue either House (correct).
• The President can call a joint sitting under Article 108 (correct).
• The President can dissolve the Lok Sabha but not the Rajya Sabha. The statement claims the President may dissolve "any House," which is not entirely accurate as it does not apply to the Rajya Sabha.

Therefore, the statement that is not correct is the one regarding the dissolution of any House of Parliament.
