The President is elected by an electoral college consisting of the elected members of both Houses of Parliament and the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States and the Union Territories of Delhi and Puducherry. State Legislative Councils are not part of the President’s electoral college. The Vice President is elected by an electoral college consisting of all the members (both elected and nominated) of both Houses of Parliament.

The statement “It provided for compensation in the case of displacement from land in Government projects” is not correct regarding the D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal case (1997).
The D.K. Basu case dealt with laying down guidelines for police to follow during arrest and detention procedures to prevent custodial torture and deaths. It did not concern land acquisition or displacement issues.
The D.K. Basu case arose from a Public Interest Litigation concerning deaths in police custody. The Supreme Court issued detailed guidelines (often referred to as ‘DK Basu guidelines’) that police must scrupulously observe, including the right of the arrested person to be informed of the grounds of arrest, the right to have a relative/friend informed, the right to consult a lawyer, and mandatory medical examination. Statement B describes issues related to laws like the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, which are unrelated to the D.K. Basu judgment.
