NDA 2026 · PYQ · Indian Polity / Parliament Procedure · medium
Consider the following statements:
I. The Constitution of India mentions that the Speaker has the power to adjourn both the Houses sine die.
II. On prorogation, it is only the Speaker who can summon the Houses.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A.I only
B.II only
C.Both I and II
D.Neither I nor II✓ Correct
Explanation
Neither statement is correct. Statement I is wrong because the Speaker can adjourn only the Lok Sabha (not both Houses) sine die; the Chairman (Vice-President of India) adjourns the Rajya Sabha. Statement II is wrong because under Article 85, the power to summon (and prorogue) each House of Parliament rests with the President of India, not the Speaker. The Speaker only adjourns the House during a session.
