portion, Constitution of India”
APARAJITA REPLY
36 th Question
Which of the following condition may lead to the resignation of the

government:
Defeat of an ordinary bill introduced by a minister.
Defeat of a money bill.
1 only.
2 only.
Both.
None.
The Answer is given as both, but if NDA govt loses a ordinary bill in rajya sabha
right now will it lead to resignation of the government ?
Somebody please reply
 Shivaji Deshmukh REPLY
Actually, in Laxmikanth pg. 22.22 it is no where mentioned about defeat

of ordinary bill in R.S.
But it is rightly mentioned, if an ordinary bill gets defeated in L.S. it will
lead to resignation of goverment only and only if it is introduce by a
“Minister”.
So, as per my opinion only option 2 here is right. As, L.S. or R.S. isn’t
mentioned in rst option.
Guarav REPLY
-Proclamation of Emergency must approved by both the houses within One

month.

Territories of Delhi and Puducherry.
Kartikeya Mishra REPLY
“The parliament can amend the Fundamental Rights for implementing the
directive principles” means Parliament can amend any Fundamental right to
implement any directive principles .
But only right described in Article -14,19 can be abridged to implement only
clause b,c of Article 39 of directive principles.
Swati Vikram REPLY
3rd answer…?according to laxmikant ,its oly against arbitrary executive

action…clear it
 KOTI REPLY
In Gopalan case(1950), the Supreme court has taken narrow

interpretation. It held that the protection under Article 21 is available
only against arbitrary executive action and not from arbitrary legislative
action.
But in Menaka case(1978),the Supreme court overruled its judgement in

the Gopalan case by taking wider interpretation.
In e ect, the protection under Article 21 should be available not only 34/42
https://mrunal.org/2013/05/polity-100-mock-mcq-questions-from-the-static-portion-constitution-of-india.html
against arbitrary executive action but also against arbitrary legislative
action.
Siddharth Pandey REPLY
Sir, Regarding Q.5, the answer should be B) – 2 only because with respect to
Article 32, only Supreme Court has the power to enforce the fundamental
rights under Article 32 and not the High Courts. High Courts have the power to
do the same under Article 226. Kindly Clarify on the said doubt.
 KOTI REPLY
I think you are right. The Supreme Court under Article.32 and HC under
Article.226 can issue the writs.
vatsal REPLY
i think B should be the right ans for ques. No. 38
 KOTI REPLY
Non-votable charges are called Charged Expenditures; and no voting

takes place for the amount involved in these expenditures for their
withdrawal from Consolidated Fund of India. This means that they have
to be paid in any case, whether the budget is passed or not passed.

Sabha, Chairman/ Deputy chairman of Rajya Sabha, Salaries and
