Question

What happens if there is a disagreement between the two Houses of Parliament over a Constitution Amendment Bill?

  1. The bill is passed by Lok Sabha only
  2. The bill is passed by Rajya Sabha only
  3. A joint sitting of both Houses is held
  4. The bill fails to pass

Answer:

Option D: The bill fails to pass

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “The bill fails to pass”.

Unlike ordinary bills, the Constitution Amendment Bill cannot be passed by a joint sitting if there is a disagreement. Both Houses must independently approve the bill; if they disagree, the bill does not pass.
