1. These relate to matters of urgent public importance and can be asked for oral answer at a notice less than 10 days
2. Short notice questions can be admissible if the Minister concerned agrees to answer to it
3. Short notice questions are asked during question hour
Which of the statements given above are correct?
This question asks to identify the correct statements regarding short notice questions asked in the Legislature.
Statement 1 says that short notice questions relate to matters of urgent public importance and require a notice of less than 10 days for an oral answer. This is accurate. Such questions are specifically designed for issues that need immediate attention and cannot wait for the standard notice period.
Statement 2 states that short notice questions are admissible only if the Minister concerned agrees to answer them. This is also correct. The admissibility hinges on the Minister's willingness to respond, given the short notice and the nature of the question.
Statement 3 claims that short notice questions are asked during the regular Question Hour. This is generally incorrect. While they concern urgent matters, short notice questions are typically taken up at a time designated by the presiding officer, often after the conclusion of the scheduled Question Hour, to avoid disrupting the established procedure.
Based on the analysis:
Therefore, the correct statements are 1 and 2 only.
Consider the following statements:
1) The summoning of the House means convocation
2) Prorogation ends a session
3) Dissolution terminates a House
4) Prorogation of a session can be effected by the leader of the House alone
Out of these which is not true?
