PREFACE
The objective of this volume is to provide an analysis of

the work done by the Fifth Lok Sabha in major fields during
the eventful years 1971-77. The information regarding the
activities of the Fifth Lok Sabha has been presented through
statements and statistical tables and supplemented by brief
introductory notes. Some of the statements draw a compara-
tive picture of the work done by the previous Lok Sabhas as
also the Central Legislative Assembly since 1929. The study
provides some vital information pertaining to the members of
the Fifth Lok Sabha and the contribution made by them.
A noteworthy feature of the Fifth Lok Sabha was that the
Constitution was amended as many as nineteen times, the last
and the most controversial in the series being the Constitution
(42nd Amendment) Act, 1976.
The extension of the life of the Fifth Lok Sabha by two
years, one year at a time, was another significant event, although
the Lok Sabha was dissolved before the expiry of the
extended period.
This publication, it is hoped, will be widely welcomed and
found to be useful and of interest to all students so far as the
working of our political system and the role of Parliament and
parliamentarians is concerned.

QUESTIONS
Generally, the first hour of a slttmg of Lok Sabha is

devoted to questions and that hour is called the Question Hour.
It has a special significance in the proceedings of Parliament.
Asking of questions is an inherent and unfettered parliamentary
right of members. It is during the Question Hour that they
ask questions on every aspect of administration and govern-
mental activity.
The Question Hour is an interesting part of the parlia-
mentary proceedings. Although a question is asked mainly
to seek information and elicit facts on a particular ~ubject, there
are many a time lively and quick exchanges of words between
the members asking the questions and the Ministers answering
them. These exchanges are sometimes coupled with flashes of
wit and humour. That is why the public galleries and the
press galleries are packed to capacity during the Question
Hour.
Types of Questions
Questions are of three types:

Starred
Unstarred
Short Notice.
A Starred question is one to which a member desires an oral
answer in the House and which is distinguished by an asterisk
mark.

LEGISLATION
A Bill is a draft of a legislative proposal, put in proper form

which, when passed by both the Houses of Parliament and
assented to by the President, becomes an Act.
The legislative pr:)cess starts with the introduction of a Bill
in either House of Parliament, Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha. A
Bill can be introduced either by a Minister or by a Private
Member. In the former case, it is known as a Government
Bill and, in the latter case, it is known as a Private-Member's
Bill. Money Bills (e.g. Bills which contain only provisions for
the imposition and abolition of taxes, Bills for appropriation of
moneys out of the Consolidated Fund, etc.) can be introduced in
Lok Sabha only.
After the Bill is passed by one House, it is sent to the other
House for concurrence. In regard to Money Bills, Lok Sabha
has got the exclusive power to legislate and Rajya Sabha can
only recommend amendments therein and must return such a
Bill to Lok Sabha within fourteen days from the date of its re-
l:eipt. It is open to Lok Sabha to accept or reject any or all
of the recommendations of Rajya Sabha with regard to a Money
Bill. If a Money Bill passed by Lok Sabha and transmitted to
Rajya Sabha for its recommendations is not returned to Lok
Sabha within the said period of fourteen days, it is deemed to
have been passed by both the Houses at the expiration of the
said period in the form in which it was passed by Lok Sabha.
If a Bill passed by one House is rejected by the other
House or, the Houses have finally disagreed as to the amend-
ments to be made in the Bill, or, more than six months elapse
154
from the date of the reception of the Bill hy the other House
without the Bill being passed by it, the President may call a
joint sitting of the two Hlluses to rostll\'e the deadlock. If. at
the joint sitting t)f the Houses. the Bill is pas~ed by a majority
of the total number of memhers of hoth the Houses present and
,'oting. with the amendments. if any. accepted hy them, the Bill
is deemed to have been passed hy hoth the Hou'ies.
When a Bill is passed by both the Houses. it i~ sent for
President's assent. The Bill bel:omes an Act only after the
President's assent has been given theret,l.
The President can give his assent or withhold his assent to
a Bill. The President can also return the Bill (except a Money
Bill) with his recommendations t(l the Houses for recllnsidera-
tion. and If the Houses pass the Billllgain with or without
amendments. the Bill has to be ;lssented ttl hy the President.
However, in the case of a Bdl to amend the Constitution. after it
is passed by the Houses with the requisite special majority and,
where necessary. ratified hy the States. the President has to
accord his asSent therettl.

MOTIONS,
RESOLUTIONS, ETC.
Pre<iident's Addrl''is and the :\1otion of Thanks

The Constitution, Viti,' article X7 (I), mJkes it incumbent
up,," the President to address hoth Houses of Parliament assem-
hJc.d together at the commencement of t'1e first session after
e:lch General Election to the Lok Sabha as also at the commence-
ment of the fir!>t session of each year, and inf,'rm P..Hliamcnt of
the causes (If its summons.
In the case of the first session after each General Election
to the Lok Sabha, th~ President addrcs~cs bc)th Hou~es of Parlia-
ment assembled together after the members have made and
subscribed the 01th or affirmation and the Speaker of Lok Sabha
h:h been elected. No other business is transacled till the Presi-
dent has addressed both Hou\es pf Parliament assembled
t0cicther and infurmed Parliament of the causes of its summons.
In the case of the first ses;;ion of each year, the President
addresse<; both Housc~ of Parliament at the time and date
notified for the c,)mmencement of the session of the two Houses.
Half-an-hour after the conclusion of the Addre5s. o,)th the
Houses meet separately in their respective Chambers when a
copy of the President's Address is laid on the Table of either
House.
Discussion on matters referred to in the President's Address
takes place on a Motion of Thanks moved by a member and
seconded by another member. According to established practice,
the mover and the seconder of the Motion of Tlllnks are
selected by the Prime Minister.
190
During the span of the Fifth Lok S:lbha, the President

addressed hoth Houses l,f Parliament assembled I0gether six
times. I'i= .. in the First. Fourth. Seventh. Tenth, Thirteenth and
Fifteenth sessions. The matters referred to in these Addresses
were discussed in dctaill)n each occasion on a M(,tion of Thanks.
The total time involved in these discussions was !l7 hours and 53
minutes.
Adjournment motions
The primary object of an adjournment motIOn is to draw the
attention of the Go\crnmcllt to a matter of urgent public
impl'rtance in regard to which a motion or a resolution with
proper notice will be too 1.lIe. Such a matter can be discussed
through an adj,'urnment motion hy interrupting the regular
busines~ of the House, if the Speaker gives his consent thereto.
An adJtlumment motllHl i, considered to be in the nature of
a censure moti()n, though not at>",lutely. If adl1 pted by the
House. it indicates a strong disapproval of the policy of the
Government. It i-; distinct from a mLlti,'n ot' no-confidence in
the Coum:II of Mmisters which is a cemure motion proper and
which, if adoptee\. re~ulh in the re~igl1ation of the Government
of the day.
During the span of the IIfth Lok Sabha. notices of 996
adjournment mutlons were received of which ~ I, repre~entinl
5.12 per cent of the total, were brought before the House. Of
these, 10 "ere admitted and discussed, taking a total time of
63 hours and ~9 minutes. Some of the subjects raised through
the adjournment motions related to the failure of the Govern-
ment to check the abnormal rise III prices of essential com-
modities anJ to ~uprly adequate quan! ities of foodgrains to
people, arrest l'1 leaders of railway workers, failure to avert
riots in the S.ldar MaL.ar area in Delhi, failure III effectively deal
with the famine conditions in West Bengal, Assam, Orissa,
Bihar, eastern U.P., and other parts of the country, and the
failure of the Government to solve the mystery of the Samasti-
pur bomb case and the inordinate delay in setting up a Commis-
sion of Inquiry. All the adjuurnment motions were negatived
by the House.
No-confidence motions
During the span (\f the Fifth L(,k Sabha, 15 no-confidence
191
motions were brought before the House. Out of these, 5 were

admitted and discussed, I was barred and 9 were withdrawn by
the members con<.:erned on the floor of the House. All the
no-confidence motions which were discussed were negatived by
the House.
Calling attention
A member may. with the previous permis~ion of the Speaker,
call the attention of a Minister to any matter of urgent public
importance and the Minister may make a brief statement
immediately or ask for time to make a statement at a later
«.late. No debate is permitted on the statement made by the
Minister but every member who c.dlcd the attention may ask a
specific and brief ciarificatory question. Urgency and public
importance are the main tests of adrnissiblity of a calling atten-
tion notice. Not more than two calling allention notices can be
taken up at anyone sitting of the House. If notices of
more than one matter are received for the ~ame day, the Speaker
selects one matter which in his opinion is more urgent and
import an t.
The conl:ept of calling attention notices is of Indian origin.
It is an innovation in the modern parli.lmentary procedure and
combines the as]."ing of a question for ;\Dswer, with supplement-
aries and slwrt comments, in which all points of view are ex-
pressed conci~ely and precisely :md the Government has
adequate opportunity to state its case.
A record number of 28,924 calling attention notices on
matters of urgent public importance were received during the
Fifth Lok Sabha. Of these, 4.338 notices were admitted repre-
senting 14.9 per cent of total received. In response to the
notices admitted, 315 statements were made before the House
hy the Ministers concerned.
Short duration discussions

In order to provide opportunities to members to discuss
matters of urgent public importance, a convention was establi-
Ihed in Lok Sabha in March, 1953 whereby members could raise
discussion for short duration without a formal motion or vote
thereon. This procedure, which was started as a convention,
IIJ2
was later incorporated in the Rules of Procedure of the Houle.

Normally. short duration discuasions can be taken up only
on tWl' days in a week. namely. Tuesdays anJ Thursdays. In
exceptional circumstanccs, it may. in addition or substitution, be
taken up on an~ other day.
There i, no formal motion berorc~ the House nor voting in
re"pect l'f !luch;! disl"uss;on. The member whl) gives notice
may mal-e a ,hlll1 q,ltcmcnt and any other memher. who has
rreviousl~ intimated tl~e Speall'r, may I'e rerolitted to take part
in the discusslc'n. Tne melll~cr who raises the discussion has
no right of reply. :\t the cnd of the discus\ion. the Minister
concerned g"es a hricf reply.
