Which of the statements given above are correct?

The correct answer is
1 and 2 only

This question asks to identify the correct statements regarding short notice questions asked in the Legislature.

Statement 1 Analysis: Urgency and Notice Period

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 Analysis: Minister's Agreement

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 Analysis: Timing During Question Hour

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.

Conclusion on Correct Statements

Based on the analysis:

  • Statement 1 is correct.
  • Statement 2 is correct.
  • Statement 3 is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct statements are 1 and 2 only.
