 The pardoning power

of the President

1. Pardon (explains it self)

2. Commutation (Commute ~ form one place to other, means one

form of punishment is substituted with lighter form).

3. Remission (Remission ~ Emission so remember to Reduce,

means reducing the period of sentence without changing its
character).

4. Respite (Res ~ Less, means awarding less punishment due to

special case, disability / pregnant.

5. Reprieve (Rip ~ Zip, so stay at the place, means a stay of the

execution of a sentence (especially that of death) to have time to
seek pardon).

Types of Writs

Indian Constitution empowers the Supreme Court to

issue ve types of writs. Simply remember ‘CPM Head
Quarters’ and the answer lies in the capital letters in it:

‘C’ stands for Certiorari,

‘P’ stands for Prohibition,

‘M’ for Mandamus,

‘H’ for Habeus Corpus and

‘Q’ stands for Quo Warranto

 Election of President
and VP

Who all participate in the election/removal of President and Vice-

President (VP)? Now most candidates get confused in these. I have
made a very small simple write up for it –

President (lection) – all elected (MPs + MLAs) (removal) – all MPs

Vice-President (election) – all elected + nominated MPs (removal) –

all MPs

Notice that in 3 out of 4 cases, it’s all MPs and only for election of
President it’s all Elected MPs + MLAs.

That is therefore highlighted and underscored. I hope now, you will

not make mistake in questions like these.

Sessions in
Parliament

B.M.W stands for BUDGET, MONSOON, WINTER

sessions of loksabha, B starts (feb to may), M starts
(june to sept), W starts(nov to dec)..

4
 States have
Legislative council
(upper house)

Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir,

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana

Key word is “KUMB JATi “

Since legislative council represents Elders / Big so we will try to

remember as “KUMB” means Big, “JATi” means lineage

K – Karnataka U – Uttar Pradesh M – Maharashtra B – Bihar

J – Jammu and Kashmir A – Andhra Pradesh T – Telangana

i - has no meaning here its

A degree in medical is B.D.S...!..amend it to B.D.M.S means BODO,

DOGRI, MAITHILI, SANTHALI are languages added to 8th schedule
under 92nd amendment.

CONSTITUENT
ASSEMBLY ADVISOR

'CAB' - C for CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY, A for

ADVISOR, B for B.N RAO..means B.N.Rao was advisor
to constituent assembly who prepare draft of
constitution

5
 Articles

Articles for union, from A72 to A111, add 89 to get the related state
article.

For example, A72: Power of the President to grant pardon etc.

72+89= 161.

A161: Power of Governors to grant pardon etc.

A111: Assent to bills. (For union)


111+89=200

A200: Assent to bills. (For state)

From A112 to A122, add 90 to get the related state article.


For example,

A112: Annual nancial statement (for union)

112+90=202

A202: Annual nancial statement (for state)

A122: Courts not to inquire into the proceeding of parliament.


122+90=212

A212: Courts not to inquire into the proceedings of legislature.
