What is the procedure that should be followed if there is a deadlock between the two Houses of the Parliament on a non-money bill?
Answer
Ordinary Bills may originate in either House of the Parliament.
- If there is disagreement between the two Houses, the bill is referred to a joint-sitting of both the Houses.
- In such cases both the Houses are placed on an equal footing.
- However, the Rajya Sabha is in a weaker position, since the total membership of Rajya Sabha is less than even half of the total strength of the Lok Sabha.
- Besides, the joint session is presided over by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
