Consider the provisions relating to the dissolution of the Lok Sabha under Article 85: 1. The dissolution of the Lok Sabha terminates all pending bills that originated in the Lok Sabha and are awaiting consideration in the Rajya Sabha. 2. A bill pending in the Rajya Sabha which has not been passed by the Lok Sabha lapses upon the dissolution of the Lok Sabha.

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 107 governs the lapse of bills upon dissolution; a bill pending in the Lok Sabha lapses upon its dissolution, as do bills passed by the Lok Sabha pending in the Rajya Sabha. However, a bill pending in the Rajya Sabha that was not passed by the Lok Sabha does not lapse when the Lok Sabha dissolves, making statement two incorrect. Article 85 empowers the President to dissolve the House.
