Which of the following is NOT correct about the power of the Speaker of the state Legislative Assembly?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. He calls for a joint session of the Assembly and Council to resolve the deadlock between the two Houses over an ordinary Bill.
The important function of the Speaker is to preside over the sessions of the Legislative Assembly and to maintain order and discipline within the house. The speaker has also the power to select amendments in relation to Bills and motions, and can refuse to propose an amendment which in his opinion is trivial. It is the fundamental duty of the speaker to maintain an order in the house.
