Q: Which of the following statements is/are correct?
a) A Bill pending in the Lok Sabha lapses on its prorogation.
b) A Bill pending in the Rajya Sabha, which has not been passed by the Lok Sabha, shall not lapse on dissolution of the Lok Sabha.
The correct answer is 2 only.
Prorogation
- It means the termination of a session of the House by an order made by the President under article 85(2)(a) of the Constitution. Prorogation terminates both the sitting and session of the House.
- All pending notices (other than those for introducing bills) lapse on prorogation and fresh notices have to be given for the next session.
Prorogation doesn’t affect the bills of any other business pending before the house. Hence statement 1 is incorrect.
