\nStatement B is incorrect. According to Article 76(3) of the Constitution, the Attorney-General of India has the right of audience in *all courts* in the territory of India, not just the Supreme Court and High Courts. He\/she also has the right to speak and take part in the proceedings of both Houses of Parliament and any joint sitting, but without the right to vote (Article 88).
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Attorney-General is the highest law officer of the Union Government. The person must be qualified to be appointed a judge of the Supreme Court (Article 76(1)). The AG holds office during the pleasure of the President and receives such remuneration as the President may determine (Article 76(4)). The AG is appointed by the President and advises the Government of India on legal matters.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Attorney-General is not a member of the Union Cabinet. The AG is the primary legal advisor to the government but does not fall into the category of a government servant and is not debarred from private legal practice, though there are conventions and rules regarding conflicts of interest when advising the government.
