Keep writing. Which 2 questions were wrong?
My real score is 6/7..I knew the answer but didn’t read word ‘not’ written in question. I knew that art.326 states it.
And I read somewhere that President increases the no. Of judges of HC but it was Parliament.
5 is an awesome score. Keep writing.

removal of vice president is by effective majority,right?
hey a warning-laxmikanth has some mistakes!
The Vice-President can be removed from office by a resolution of the Council of States (Rajya Sabha), passed by a majority of its members at ” that time” and agreed to by the House of the People (Lok Sabha). this I had checked from http://vicepresidentofindia.nic.in/vice-president-india-and-constitution Many websites say that this is termed as effective majority.Someone please clear this absolute vs effective difference
Thanks for that eye opener ?
(
b
) a Vice-President may be removed from his office by a resolution
of the Council of States passed by a majority of “all the then members” of the Council and agreed to by the House of the People
Source Law Ministry
The Vice-President can be removed from office by a resolution of the Council of States (Rajya Sabha), passed by a majority of its members at that time and agreed to by the House of the People (Lok Sabha). A resolution for this purpose may be moved only after a notice of at least a minimum of 14 days has been given of such an intention.
only majority is written. nothing related to absolute or effective majority.
Yes he is removed by effective majority
Was just reading abt maternity benefit act.. Good questions.. ?

Doubt over Q on Vice President
5/7 thanks for the questions………
Welcome.
What is meant by “Agreed to by Lok Sabha” ?
5/7
5/7… Could be better…?
VP is removed by “effective majority”. Its not absolute majority in true sense. Absolute majority means not less than 50% of total seat of the house. But in case of effective majority it is not less than 50% of effective strength of the house, which is vaccant seats of house deducted from total strength of the house.
Nice work .. Today didn’t fall for incorrect type ques.. 4/7… Silly mistakes

Isn’t the vice president removed by an effective majority and not an absolute majority??
In laxmikanth, absolute majority is given.
In the constitution it’s not written “by the total strength of the council” instead they used “then members of the council” which is basically total strength minus the vacancies.So it can’t be absolute majority
Thanks, did lot of silly mistakes
5/7
I wasn’t sure about Art 42. So marked the first statement correct.
Failed to recall that absolute majority is required for impeachment for Deputy Speaker. Went with special.
Good question in all sir!
Thank you for the imitative

The Directive Principles of State Policy are subject to amendments via Article 368 only. THIS STATEMENT WAS INTERPRETED IN A WRONG WAY THAT’S WHY COMMITTED THE MISTAKE.

preamble can NOT be amended as it is now basic structure of constitution as per KESAVANANDA BHARATI CASE 1973…..
Preamble can be amended, subject to the condition that no amendment is done to the ‘basic features’.
I try to improve correct answer twice but I failed both time I got 3/7 ,questions are good and tricky not hard just this year questions pattern
Answer for vice president removal it should be effective majority.
