Explain the different sessions of state legislature upsc
Answers
Explanation:
Though a uniform pattern of Government is prescribed for the States, it is not so in the matter of the composition of the Legislature. While the Legislature of every State shall consist of the Governor and the State Legislature, in some of the States, the Legislature shall consist of two Houses, namely, the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council, while in the rest, there shall be only one House, namely the legislative assembly. The constitution provides for the abolition of the second chamber in a State where it exists as well as for the creation of such a chamber in a State where there is none at present. If a state Legislature passes a resolution by an absolute majority, together with not less than two-thirds of the members actually present and voting in favour of the creation of the second chamber and if Parliament gives concurrence to such a resolution, the concerned State can have two Houses in the Legislature. Similar is the procedure for the abolition of the Upper houses and the State of Punjab and West Bengal abolished the second chambers in 1969 and 1970 respectively. Recently the Legislative Councils in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu were abolished in 1985 and 1986 respectively. The State Legislature which has only one House is known as the Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) and in the State which has two houses, the Upper House is known as the Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) and the lower House is known as the Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha). Owing to changes introduced since the inauguration of Constitution, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Art. 169, the States having two Houses are Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnaktaka, and Uttar Pradesh. To these must be added Jammu and Kashmir, which has adopted a bicameral Legislature by her own State Constitution.
