Solution

The correct option is D Can be filed only after the expiration of two months next after notice in writing has been delivered to the President
The President is entitled to a number of privileges and immunities. He enjoys personal immunity from legal liability for his official acts. During his term of office he is immune from any criminal proceedings even in respect of his personal acts. He cannot be arrested. But, after giving two month's notice civil proceedings can be instituted against him during his term of office in respect of his personal acts.
