Question

A.True
B.False

Answer 1

Hint: Lok sabha and Rajya sabha are the lower house and the upper house of the parliament respectively. The members of lok sabha are elected by the citizens of India whereas the members of Rajya sabha are elected by MLAs.

Complete Answer: When an ordinary bill is passed the powers of lok sabha and rajya sabha are considered to be equal. In this situation the president may call for a joint session which is presided over by the speaker of Lok sabha. Our constitution also includes a provision for this joint session under Article 108.
Even when a bill is passed the president can withhold his assent and send the bill back for reconsideration and changes if he doesn't agree with it.
In case, the bill comes back again without any amendment the president has no choice but to give his assent.
The president is considered to be the head of the supreme legislative body and it has the path to summon the parliament or dissolve the Lok sabha. The president can also use this power while advising the prime minister or the union of council ministers.
and the Loksabha and rajyasabha are considered as the lower and the upper house of the parliament respectively.
These three bodies together form the house of parliament.
Therefore, it is true that if there is disagreement between the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, the Ordinary Bill is referred to a joint sitting of both the houses.
So, the correct answer is option A.

Note: The constitution has given provision to pass four types of bills-
1) constitution amendment bill: they have the provision to amend the constitution if required.
2) money bill: these bills are only related to taxation and borrowing.
3) financial bill : they talked about the expenditure of a country.
4) ordinary bill : all the other bills come under the category of ordinary bill.
