With reference to the Indian Parliament and representation, consider the following statements: 1. All Union Territories of India are represented in the Rajya Sabha. 2. Settling disputes regarding elections is the primary direct jurisdiction of the Chief Election Commissioner. 3. As per Article 79 of the Constitution of India, the Parliament consists of the President, Rajya Sabha, and Lok Sabha. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect because not all Union Territories have representation in the Rajya Sabha; only Delhi, Puducherry, and Jammu & Kashmir are represented. Statement 2 is incorrect because the settlement of election-related disputes falls under the jurisdiction of the judiciary (courts), not the Chief Election Commissioner. Statement 3 is correct because Article 79 clearly states that the Parliament for the Union shall consist of the President and two Houses, to be known respectively as the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the House of the People (Lok Sabha).
