list of presidents of india
the indian parliament has enacted the law—"the president (discharge of functions) act, 1969" — for the discharge of the functions of the president when vacancies occur in the offices of the president and of the vice-president simultaneously, owing to removal, death, resignation of the incumbent or otherwise. in such an eventuality, the chief justice—or in his absence, the senior most judge of the supreme court of india available—discharges the functions of the president until a newly elected president enters upon his office or a newly elected vice-president begins to act as president under article 65 of the constitution, whichever is the earlier. for example, in 1969, when president zakir husain died in office, vice-president v. v. giri served as the acting president of india. however, later, v.v giri resigned from both posts (acting president of india and vice-president of india) as he became a candidate in the 1969 presidential election in india. in this event, the then chief justice of india, justice mohammad hidayatullah served as the acting president of india until the next president was elected.
