Question

4 conditions required for the session of the parliament

Answer 1

The Parliament of India is bicameral. Concurrence of both houses are required to pass any bill. However, the authors of the Constitution of India visualised situations of deadlock between the upper house i.e. Rajya Sabha and the lower house i.e. Lok Sabha. Therefore, the Constitution of India provides for Joint sittings of both the Houses to break this deadlock. The joint sitting of the Parliament is called by the President and is presided over by the Speaker or, in his absence, by the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha or in his absence, the Deputy-Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. If any of the above officers are not present then any other member of the Parliament can preside by consensus of both the House.

Answer 2

Indian constitution insists the Parliament to conduct at the sessions on a regular intervals.

The President has the power given by the Constitution to summon each House at several intervals that  there should not be a gap of more than a six-month.The Parliament in India conducts three sessions each year

Budget session (February-May),Monsoon Session (July-September)and Winter Session(November-December).

                                           The 4th condition can be considered as Joint Session.Which is again the power of the President  to summon a joint session for purpose of passing the bill if an ordinary bill has been rejected by any house of the Parliament and if more than six months have elapsed.

And in the Parliament of India only 4 joint session have been summoned till now . Three bills have been passed which are Dowry Prohibition Act 1961,The Banking Service Commission Repeal Act,1978 and POTA (Prevention of Terrorism Act),2002.And the 4th bill which is not passed yet is Women Reservation,2008.
