Q. Which of the following lapse on prorogue of a house in Indian Parliament?

1. Pending Motions
2. Pending Resolutions
3. Pending Bills

Select the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 1 & 2
Notes: Prorogation is one of two ways in which the President, using powers conferred upon him by Art 85 of the Constitution, may terminate a session of Parliament. [The second way is by Dissolution, which ends the life of Lok Sabha and brings on an election.] When the House is prorogued, all pending notices, motions and resolutions lapse, but Bills — as per Article 107(3) — don’t.
