In the Aadhar judgement , the SC went into the question whether certification of aadhar bill as money bill is valid or not.
However , the Speaker's decision to certify a bill as money bill is final and binding and cannot be questioned in a court of law.
Is the second statement still valid after Judicial review done by SC?
After non extension of provision to nominate 2 anglo indians to the lok sabha , has the maximum strength of Lok Sabha reduced from 552 to 550?
Yes, i guess it has reduced to 550. Because Constitution never directly mentioned 552 or 550 as maximum strength. In article 81, it only mentions no. of seats for states and UTs. + Read with article 334 that was actually amended by the 104th CAA ..

in practice, SC can review anything on limited grounds: arbitrary, mala fide etc
btw, Aadhar case didn't technically decideon this issue. this was also later acknowledged by Roger Mathew case:
"majoritydictuminK.S. Puttaswamydid not substantially discuss the effect of the word ‘only’ in Article 110(1) and offers little guidance on the repercussions of a finding when some of the provisions of an enactment passed as a “Money Bill” do not conform to Article 110(1)(a) to (g).”

Q.
Any of the languages mentioned in the 8th schedule can be used for transacting business in the Parliament ?
True or False
Explain ?
TheOfficial Languages Act, 1963provides for English and Hindi as the official languages for the transaction of business in Parliament. This is supported by certain provisions in theRules of Procedure of the LS and the RS. Any petition for the conduct of any business shall be either in Hindi or in English. However, the rules also allow a petition in any other Indian language provided it is accompanied by a translation either in Hindi or in English.
Moreover,Article 120allows an MP who is unable to express himself/herself in either Hindi or English to, with the permission of the Speaker/Chairperson, address the House in their mother tongue.
Let's come back to question now-Can any of the languages mentioned in the 8th schedule be used for the transaction of business of Parliament?
Yes, but not without Hindi or English being used in some form.
