– Statement 2: After a bill has been passed by both Houses, it is presented to the President for assent. Article 111 states that when a bill is presented to the President, he shall declare either that he assents to the bill, or that he withholds assent, or in the case of a non-money bill, he may return it for reconsideration. Assent by the President is mandatory for the bill to become law. This statement is correct.
– Statement 3: The Prime Minister’s signature is not a step required for a bill passed by Parliament to become an Act. The President gives assent. This statement is incorrect.
– Statement 4: The Supreme Court’s role is judicial review, which happens *after* a law has been enacted. It does not approve a bill or declare its jurisdiction during the legislative process. This statement is incorrect.
