Article 77 Of The Indian Constitution Explained
Article 77 explains how the Indian Government shall carry out and manage its operations. There are 3 clauses in this article, let’s read and understand them carefully.
Article 77 Clause 1
Article 77 explains how the government can make various executive decisions. And whatever decisions the government takes will be taken in the name of the President. It is not that the President’s name will be used without asking him. The decision will be taken only if the President signs on that policy or program. And as we know the President works on the advice and with the help of the Council of Ministers.
Clause 2
Now let us assume that if any order is taken in the name of the President, then an investigation can not be initiated against the President. For example, If the President has signed a policy, then no one can point out that the President did not approve it.
Clause 3
It is also the President’s job to make such rules and regulations with time so that the working style of the Government of India keeps improving. And the working style of the ministers also keeps improving.
