It is within the purview of the Chief Election Commissioner to adjudicate the election disputes.
According to the Constitution of India, the Parliament consists of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha only.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Select an option to attempt

Explanation

Union Territories of Delhi, Puducherry, etc. are represented in Rajya Sabha. So, Statement 1 is incorrect.

Election disputes are decided by High courts & Supreme courts. So, Statement 2 is incorrect.

The President is also part of Parliament as he has to sign bills for them to become Acts. So, Statement 3 is incorrect. Also it is up to court to settle disputes in most of the cases.

So the answer is none, that is option D.
