An ordinary bill originating in the Lok Sabha lapses upon the dissolution of the Lok Sabha even if it has already been transmitted to and is pending in the Rajya Sabha. 2. If an ordinary bill passed by the Lok Sabha is pending in the Rajya Sabha when the Lok Sabha is dissolved, it does not lapse. 3. A bill pending assent of the President lapses if the Lok Sabha is dissolved before assent is granted. Which of the statements given above are correct?
A. 2 only✓ Correct Answer
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
💡 Solution & Explanation
Statement 2 is correct because under Article 107, a bill pending in the Rajya Sabha that has not been passed by the Lok Sabha does not lapse upon dissolution. Statement 1 is incorrect because a bill passed by the Lok Sabha and pending in the Rajya Sabha lapses upon dissolution. Statement 3 is incorrect because bills awaiting presidential assent have already passed both houses and do not lapse. Legislative lapsing rules prevent perpetual legislative backlog.
