Q43 (CDS-I/2021) Polity & Governance › Parliament › Parliamentary procedures Answer Verified

Which one among the following motions cannot be made while introducing an ordinary Bill in the Parliament ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

In the Indian Parliamentary procedure, after the introduction of an ordinary Bill, the member in charge can move one of four motions: that the Bill be taken into consideration, that it be referred to a Select Committee of the House, that it be referred to a Joint Committee of both Houses with the concurrence of the other House, or that it be circulated for eliciting public opinion [2]. A motion to refer a Bill to a Joint Committee requires the concurrence of the other House because it involves members from both chambers [3]. Therefore, a motion to refer a Bill to a Joint Committee 'without the concurrence of the other House' is procedurally impossible and cannot be made. The first three options represent standard motions available at the second reading stage to determine the Bill's progression [2].
