Q32) Art. 86 deals with Power of President to Address the Parliament and Art 87 deals with Special Address of the President in Parliament. For clarity read https://rajyasabha.nic.in/rsnew/practice_procedure/book4.asp ( it mentions - Article 86(1) of the Constitution provides that thePresident may addresseither House of Parliament or both Houses assembled together, and for that purpose require the attendance of members. However, since the commencement of the Constitution, there has not been any occasion when the President has addressed either House or both Houses assembled together, under the provision of this article.

Article 87 provides for the special address by the President. Clause (1) of that article provides that at the commencement of the first session after each general election to the House of the People and at the commencement of the first session of each year, the President shall address both Houses of Parliament assembled together and inform Parliament of the causes of its summons. Such an Address is called 'special address'; and it is also an annual feature. No other business is transacted till the President has addressed both Houses of Parliament assembled together. The time and date of the President's Address are notified in the Parliamentary Bulletin, Part II.)

test 8: answer given for question no 43 is incorrect.. answer given in key is D.. whereas it should be C.

Plz refer Art 90 and 94. Speaker, Deputy Speaker and Deputy Chairman, all of them are removed by resolution passed by all the then members of the house i.e. by effective majority. Hence both wrong as question provided for Absolute Majority.

Answer is crct.

For removal of any presiding officer

Majority of all thethen membersof the house(Effective majority =vacant seats to be removed).

@Thinker all the then members and All the members is same interpretation... if it would have been absolute majority(as you are interpreting it in question) then it would be written as majority of Total membership of the house .

@Thinker also plz clarify regarding question no 37 as asked in previous post involving question 32.

Majority of all the members is Absolute majority as it doesn't take into consideration the Vacancies in the house. Majority of all the then members of House means Effective majority as it does take into consideration the Vacancies in House. This is the distinction you need to remember. Further,The Constitution of India clearly mentions that Majority of all the then members of House is required for the removal (not the majority of all the members house as asked in the question) of Deputy Chairman (Art 90) and for Speaker and Deputy Speaker (Art 94) thereby makin both the statements wrong.

@ranahere999 The Question Hour is mentioned in Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business (in Lok Sabha as well as in Rajya Sabha); here is the link of pdf https://rajyasabha.nic.in/rsnew/rs_rule/rules_pro.pdf ; http://164.100.47.194/loksabha/rules/RULES-2010-P-FINAL_1.pdf ;

so, the answer key is stating statement wrong because the statement mentioned "Rules of Business of the Lok Sabha" rather than "Rules of procedure and conduct of business in Lok Sabha" just like in question no 32, it mentioned Special Address rather than just the word Address

Read bare act: A86 Right of President to address and send message to Houses.

A87 Special Address by the President

Thinker,

The question mention that it is present in Rules of Business and as there is no such thin the question is wrong.Had the Question refers Rules of Procedure the answer would be true. Further The Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business are as such not compiled documents within the House but for public reference Rules Committee compiles it and publish it like a book which is available in market. That is why no standard reference book makes mention to Rule of Procedure and Conduct of Business but rather refers to them separately.

@Thinker okay thanks.. since the word "then" is specifically mentioned in the constitution i agree to it. :)

Thinker,

Q.23) Option 1: please clarify : why?
@Thinker

Section 4 of Representation of Peoples Act 1951 mentions the exception i.e. In case of Lakshdweep, Sikkim and Tribal Areas of Assam the candidate must be a local voter or voter from constituency from where he wants to contest election.

Torque,BASSICK

@Thinker since there is no such thing as rules of business.. wouldn't it be an abrupt statement instead of wrong statement and the question stands invalid.. :D

Since there is no such thing you consider it as wrong rather than invalid.

@root

Not aware of this debate / question. Anurag Thakur is a Minister BTW

@Aks07 chief whip of a party is different from chief whip of Government of India and minister of parliamentary affairs is the chief whip of GoI. Anurag Thakur was appointed as whip of BJP in Lok sabha and not of Government of India.

Anshhhh .

@TH14 thanks Buddy

Anshhhh .

@ranahere999 no plz correct laxmikant. In laxmikant it is given absolute majority. It should be effective majority.

Anshhhh .
