Question

Which of the following statements is/are correct?
1. A Bill pending in the Lok Sabha lapses on its prorogation.
2. A Bill pending in the Rajya Sabha, which has not been passed by the Lok Sabha, shall not lapse on dissolution of the Lok Sabha.
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
(d) Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

d or a is answer
I think

Answer 2

The correct answer is option (b) 2 only.

Option 1. is wrong because a bill pending in the Lok Sabha does not lapse on its propagation. The bill lapses only on the dissolution of Lok Sabha. Propagation of a bill means termination of a session.

A bill lapses in Lok Sabha when it is originated in the Lok Sabha and is pending in the Lok Sabha. A bill originated and passed by Rajya Sabha but is pending in Lok Sabha and vice versa.
