    \nThe correct option is A (1, 2 and 3).
    \n<\/section>\n
    \n– Statement 1 is correct: Article 76(1) of the Constitution states that the person appointed as Attorney General for India must be a person who is qualified to be appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court.
    \n– Statement 2 is correct: Article 105 of the Constitution deals with the powers, privileges, etc., of the Houses of Parliament and their members and committees. Article 88 and Article 102(4) read together extend certain rights and privileges of MPs to the Attorney General, including the right to speak in Parliament and immunity from legal proceedings in respect of anything said or any vote given there. While the extent of “same privileges and immunities” as a member of Parliament is debated, common interpretations and legal texts suggest they enjoy essential parliamentary privileges.
    \n– Statement 3 is correct: Article 76(3) states that the Attorney General shall have the right of audience in all courts in the territory of India.
    \n– Statement 4 is incorrect: The salary and allowances of the Attorney General are determined by the President (Article 76(4)). While these are paid out of the Consolidated Fund of India, they are *not charged* upon the Consolidated Fund, meaning they are subject to vote by Parliament. Expenses charged on the Consolidated Fund are generally non-votable.
    \n<\/section>\n
    \nThe Attorney General is the chief legal advisor to the Government of India. They are appointed by the President and hold office during the pleasure of the President. They are not a member of the Union Cabinet.
