    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 Rajya Sabha, which has not been passed by the Lok Sabha, shall not lapse on dissolution of the Lok Sabha.
    Select the correct answer using the codes given below [CSAT-2016]

    A) 1 only              

    B) 2 only

    C) Both 1 and 2                 

    D) Neither 1 nor 2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    prorogation doesn't affect the bills of any other business pending before the house so 1st statement is wrong. Ref. Disha Polity Compendium Page P-54. A bill pending in the Rajya Sabha but not passed by the Lok Sabha does not lapse if the president has notified the holding of a joint sitting before the dissolution of Lok Sabha. So, statement 2 is right.
