The question for decision then is whether the court can scrutinize and examine the facts and circumstances that led the President to arrive at the satisfaction that it was not expedient in the interest of the security of the State to hold the inquiry envisaged in Article ,311(2) against the petitioners, and if so, to what extent." 709 While examining this aspect of the matter, the High Court relied on the ratio of the decision of this Court in Sardari Lal 's case (supra) and examining the second aspect of the contention, the High Court held: "The result, therefore, is that the exercise of power by the President under clause (c) to the proviso to Article 311(2) is fully covered by clause (1) of Article 361 and the President is not answerable to any court for the exer cise and performance of his powers and duties under this clause of the proviso to Article 311 and no court has jurisdiction to examine the facts and circumstances that led to the satisfaction of the President envisaged in clause (c) except probably on the ground of mala fide.
