Can SC interfere in inter state water disputes? As, in act it is prohibited but I have read that SC can do so by special leave petition.

@mehuifs right but if a question comes we’ll have to say it has no jurisdiction because that is clearly stated in the Constitution and the special leave petition is an exemption.

As Dy Chairman presides in case both these are absent. Besides CM of RS is not even a member of house. 
S2: JS does not exist is SLA even for ordinary bills.

@aa12 Thanks! but in a test series solution, it was given that judicial review is applicable for inter state water disputes. So got little confused about that.

@mehuifs yes like you said the powers under special leave petition, SC has jurisdiction  over any tribunal’s orders. But regardless of that I think that UPSC will not ask such a vague/complex question.

@aa12 just like the question about SC’s power over money bill? Speaker’s decision is final yet it was reviewed by the SC in Aadhaar case.

Yeah that's what I thought, but in the test series I was doing it said neither since there is no provision of joint sitting at all.

@dragon_rider It will be neither 1 nor 2. 
Statement 1: since the chairperson is not an elected member of parliament he cannot preside a joint sitting.
Statement 2: Because it implies that otherwise there is a provision of joint sitting for the state legislature, which isn't the case.

Is there a need of prior notice for raising a matter in zero hour? 

While an Indian express article says it is not needed, Lok Sabha FAQs say a notice is required. Any clarification on this would be helpful.

How would you answer the following question?


Consider the following statements.

  1. Chairman of Rajya Sabha presides over joint sitting of both houses of Parliament, if Speaker and Deputy Speaker of lower house is absent.
  2. The Provision of Joint sitting in State Legislature is not applied to Money Bills or Constitutional Amendment Bills.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?


The choices are the usual 1 is correct, 2 is correct etc.

Answer seems more of b that is 2 only and less of d that is neither wala

Q.9) The suggestion for framing of the Constitution of India by an elected Constituent Assembly was made by
a) Simon Commissions
b) Government of India Act, 1935
c) Cripps Mission
d) Cabinet Mission

IAS baba day 1 question 9. The answer key says cabinet mission.  as per cripps proposal the Constitution was to be framed by an elected by constituent assembly. But the proposal was rejected by Muslim league. Then CA was constituted in nov 1946 as per scheme formulated by under cabinet mission.
but then since the word suggestion is used in the Q shouldn’t the answer be cripps mission?

1. COM are collectively responsible to the Parliament

2. COM are collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha


I usually mark 2 only and it is correct but can someone explain me this statement in regard to the question.

The COM is collectively responsible to the Parliament is general and Lok Sabha in particular.
