Kya hai Judiciary's Power to Pardon?

Maine socha tha yeh question easy hai, lekin paper ko kharab karte hue pata chala ki main galat tha!

Question: Who among the following can grant pardon and reprieve to a convict under Article 72 of the Constitution of India?

A) The President of India B) The Governor of the State on behalf of the President C) The Chief Justice of India on behalf of the President D) The High Court of the State

Meri pehli koshish thi D, High Court of the State, kyunki main sochta tha ki woh bhi kuch power khelta hai. Lekin, sahi jawab A, The President of India hai.

Sahi kya hai, please batao aur kyon?
