Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements.
- The Speaker of Lok Sabha can suspend the members of the house for disrupting the proceedings of the house.
- The Speaker can also revoke the suspension if she desires.
- In case of Rajya Sabha, the Chairman has the power to suspend the member.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: a)
Among the tools available to the Speaker for ensuring discipline is the power to force a member to withdraw from the House (for the remaining part of the day), or to place him under suspension.
While the Speaker is empowered to place a member under suspension, the authority for revocation of this order is not vested in her. It is for the House, if it so desires, to resolve on a motion to revoke the suspension.
Unlike the Speaker, the Rajya Sabha Chairman does not have the power to suspend a member. In such a situation, the House may adopt a motion suspending the member from the service of the House for a period not exceeding the remainder of the session. The House may, however, by another motion, terminate the suspension.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements.
- The Constitution does not contain any procedure for the selection and appointment of the Prime Minister.
- Sometimes, the President can exercise his/her personal discretion in the selection and appointment of the Prime Minister.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c)
The Constitution does not contain any specific procedure for the selection and appointment of the Prime Minister. Article 75 says only that the Prime Minister shall be appointed by the president. However, this does not imply that the president is free to appoint any one as the Prime Minister. In accordance with the conventions of the parliamentary system of government, the President has to appoint the leader of the majority party in the Lok Sabha as the Prime Minister. But, when no party has a clear majority in the Lok Sabha, then the President may exercise his personal discretion in the selection and appointment of the Prime Minister. In such a situation, the President usually appoints the leader of the largest party or coalition in the Lok Sabha as the Prime Minister and asks him to seek a vote of confidence in the House within a month.
There is also one more situation when the president may have to exercise his individual judgement in the selection and appointment of the Prime Minister, that is, when the Prime Minister in office dies suddenly and there is no obvious successor.
