assesses the support for political parties and their candidates. It is conducted by various survey
agencies.The first exit polls in India was conducted in 1957 during the second Lok Sabha elections
by the Indian Institute of Public Opinion. Exit poll results are very useful to the media to fill a bit of
airtime before the announcement of the results.
In February 2010, restrictions were imposed only on exit polls through the introduction of Section
126(A) in the RP Act 1951.Election Commission has powers to regulate Exit Polls.
125. D
Adjournment Motion It is introduced in the Parliament to draw attention of the House to a definite
matter of urgent public importance, and needs the support of 50 members to be admitted. As it
interrupts the normal business of the House, it is regarded as an extraordinary device. It involves an
element of censure against the government and hence Rajya Sabha is not permitted to make use of
this device. The discussion on an adjournment motion should last for not less than two hours and
thirty minutes.
126.A

behavior he deems to be seriously unruly. Any member who receives such an order to withdraw must
comply immediately and abstain from the remainder of the meeting.
128. D

Article 262 of the Constitution provides for the adjudication of inter-state water disputes. It makes two
provisions:
1. Parliament may by law provide for the adjudication of any dispute or complaint with respect to the
use, distribution and control of waters of any inter-state river and river valley.
2. Parliament may also provide that neither the Supreme Court nor any other court is to exercise
jurisdiction in respect of any such dispute or complaint.
Under this provision, the Parliament has enacted two laws: (a) the River Boards Act (1956) and (b)
the Inter- State Water Disputes Act (1956).
The Inter-State Water Disputes Act empowers the Central government to set up an ad hoc tribunal
for the adjudication of a dispute between two or more states in relation to the waters of an inter-state
river or river valley.
The decision of the tribunal would be final and binding on the parties to the dispute.
Neither the Supreme Court nor any other court is to have jurisdiction in respect of any water dispute
which may be referred to such a tribunal under this Act.
130. B
Finance Commission
The Finance Commission in India is constituted by the President under article 280 of the
Constitution.It is constituted at the end of every fifth year or earlier, as deemed necessary by the
President.Parliament may, by law, determine the requisite qualifications for appointment as members
of the Commission and the procedure for their selection. On account of this, The Finance Commission
(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1951, was passed.
It is the duty of the Commission to make recommendations to the President as to:
131.A
Citizenship signifies the relationship between individual and state. It is listed in the Union List under
the Constitution and thus is under the exclusive jurisdiction of Parliament.
The Constitution does not define the term ‘citizen ’but details of various categories of persons who
are entitled to citizenship are given in Part 2 (Articles 5 to 11.
In India, the concept of single citizenship is adopted from the British constitution that is from the
United Kingdom. In India, only single citizenship is available to citizens. One cannot be a citizen of
the state as well. This helps in increasing the feeling of nationality and encourages patriotism as it
forges unity amidst regional and cultural differences. It also encourages fundamental rights such as
the freedom of movement and residence in any part of the nation.
132. C
According to Article 200, when a bill passed by both the Houses of the State Legislature is presented
before the Governor, the Governor can reserve the bill for the consideration of the President in
addition to giving or withholding his assent to it. According to Article 201, when a Bill is reserved by
the Governor for the consideration of the President, the President shall declare whether he assents
to the Bill or withholds the assent.

42nd Amendment 1976:
To secure opportunities for healthy development of children (Article 39)
To promote equal justice and to provide free legal aid to the poor (Article 39 A)
To take steps to secure the participation of workers in the management of industries
(Article 43 A)
To secure opportunities for healthy development of children (Article 39)To protect and
improve the environment and to safeguard forests and wild life (Article 48 A).
44th Amendment 1978:
134. C
The Government of India accepted Fazl Ali recommendations with certain minor modifications. By the
States Reorganisation Act (1956) and the 7th Constitutional Amendment Act (1956), the distinction
between Part-A and Part-B states was done away with and Part-C states were abolished. Some of
them were merged with adjacent states and some other were designated as union territories. As a
result, 14 states and 6 union territories were created on November 1, 1956.
135. A
As per the Constitution Parliament has the final power of providing the composition of state legislative
council.
The total members in the legislative council of a state shall not exceed one third of the total number
of the members in the legislative Assembly of that state and the total number of members in the
legislative council of a state shall in no case be less than 40.
One sixth are nominated by the Governor from persons having knowledge or practical experience in
fields such as literature, science, arts, the cooperative movement and social services. The Governor ’s
nomination to council cannot be challenged in court of law.
136. A
The Supreme Court can issue writs only for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights.
Where As The High Court can issue writs not only for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights but
also for any other purposes.Thus, the writ jurisdiction of the High Court is broader than that of the
Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court can issue writs against a person or government throughout the territory of
India.The High Court can issue writs against a person residing or against a government or authority
located within its territorial jurisdiction only or outside its territorial jurisdiction only if the cause of
action arises within its territorial jurisdiction. Thus, the territorial jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to
issue writs is wider than that of a High Court.
A remedy under Article 32 is in itself a Fundamental Right and hence Supreme Court cannot refuse
to exercise its writ jurisdiction.A remedy under Article 226 is discretionary, and hence a High Court
may refuse to exercise its writ jurisdiction.
In the Chandra Kumar case (1997), the Supreme Court ruled that the writ jurisdiction of both the high
court and the Supreme Court constitute a part of the basic structure of the Constitution. Hence, it
cannot be ousted or excluded even by way of an amendment to the Constitution
137. A
The preamble of the Indian Constitution-
138. A
Article 44 of the Constitution lays down that the state shall endeavour to secure a Uniform Civil Code
for the citizens throughout the territory of India.
Currently, different laws regulate these aspects for adherents of different religions and a Uniform Civil
Code is meant to do away with these inconsistent personal laws.
Goa is the only state in the country that has a UCC. But the Goa Civil Code was given by the
Portuguese in 1867
The Uttarakhand government recently introduced the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) 2024 Bill in the
Assembly, proposing significant changes in marriage, divorce, and succession laws. This has sparked
a renewed debate on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India.
139. C
In Waman Rao vs Union of India case, 1981, the Supreme Court adhered to the doctrine of the ‘basic
structure ’and also further clarified that it would apply to constitutional amendments enacted after
April 24, 1973.
140. B
The Constitution of India under Article 148 provides for the office of the Comptroller and Auditor
General (CAG) of India. He controls the financial system of both at the centre and state levels that is
why it is known as Guardian of Public Purse.
CAG conducts various types of Audits such as legal and regulatory audit which is obligatory on the
CAG whereas propriety audit is discretionary. Under Propriety audit CAG can look into wisdom,
faithfulness and economy of the government expenditure. The observations arising from the audit of
the Ministries are included in separate Reports.
The role of CAG in auditing public corporations falls into the following three categories
Some corporations like Air India, Oil and Natural Gas are audit totally and directly by CAG.
Some corporations like Central Warehousing are audited by Private firms and CAG can conduct
the supplementary audit.
Some corporations like the State Bank of India are totally subjected to private audit.CAG does not
audit accounts of State Cooperative societies. The state legislatures may make provisions for the
auditing of accounts of cooperative societies. Every cooperative shall be audited by an auditor
appointed by the general body of the cooperative society.
141. C
142. C
Even much before the enactment of the Lokpal and Lokayukta Act (2013) itself, many states had
already set up the institution of Lokayuktas.
It must be noted here that the institution of Lokayukta was first established in Maharashtra in
1971.Although Odisha had passed the Act in this regard in 1970, it came into force only in 1983.
143. D
Model Code of Conduct (MCC)
The election commission recently responded to the law panel by stating that the Model Code of
Conduct (MCC) is necessary and a not a disruption to the current ongoing policies and
programmes.The MCC is a code containing some general precepts for model behaviour during
elections conducted by Election Commission (EC).
It has 8 chapters, with one dedicated to what the party in power can and cannot do once elections
are announced by the EC.
The code’s purpose, emphasising it only prohibits new projects, programmes, financial grants or
promises that could influence the electorate in favour of the ruling party.
The MCC restrictions are solely applicable to states undergoing elections.
It forbids use of official machinery and personnel for the political gains of the party in power.
MCC evolved as part of the ECI’s drive to ensure free and fair elections, and was the result of a
consensus among major political parties.
It has no statutory backing. Simply put, this means anybody breaching the MCC can’t be proceeded
against under any clause of the Code. Everything is voluntary.
MCC was first introduced in the state assembly elections in Kerala in 1960.
144. B
The Committee on Estimates, constituted for the first time in 1950, is a Parliamentary Committee
consisting of 30 members, elected every year by the Lok Sabha from amongst its Members. The
Chairperson of the Committee is appointed by the Speaker from amongst its members. A Minister
cannot be elected as a member of the Committee and if a member after selection to the Committee
145. A
The power to create new districts or alter or abolish existing districts rests with the State governments.
This can either be done through an executive order or by passing a law in the State Assembly. Many
States prefer the executive route by simply issuing a notification in the official gazette.
Executive instructions have been issued by the Union to all State Governments regarding the
procedure to be adopted for renaming villages/ towns/ cities etc. These are also applicable for
renaming of a Railway Station. The proposals for renaming a town/ city/ village/ railway station are to
be submitted by the State Governments to the Central Government for approval. Though the Central
Government accords approval, Gazette Notification giving effect to the change is issued by the State
Government concerned. The Home Ministry is the ministry concerned in this respect.
The renaming of states is governed by Article 3 of the Constitution of India. The Article empowers the
Parliament to alter the name of any State by law. The renaming requires Parliamentary approval
under Article 3 and 4 of the Constitution, and the President has to refer the same to the relevant state
legislature for its views. Thus, states have no unilateral power to change the name of their states and
require prior parliamentary approval for the same.
146. A
A State Public Service Commission consists of a chairman and other members appointed by the
governor of the state. The Constitution does not specify the strength of the Commission but has left
the matter to the discretion of the Governor. Further, no qualifications are prescribed for the
commission’s membership except that one-half of the members of the commission should be such
persons who have held office for at least ten years either under the government of India or under the
Government of a state.
The Constitution also authorises the governor to determine the conditions of service of the chairman
and members of the Commission.The chairman and members of the Commission hold office for a
term of six years or until they attain the age of 62 years, whichever is earlier (in the case of UPSC,
the age limit is 65 years). However, they can relinquish their offices at any time by addressing their
resignation to the governor.
The president can also remove the chairman or any other member of SPSC for misbehaviour.
However, in this case, the president has to refer the matter to the Supreme Court for an enquiry. If
the Supreme Court, after the enquiry, upholds the cause of removal and advises so, the president
can remove the chairman or a member.
Under the provisions of the Constitution, the advise tendered by the Supreme Court in this regard is
binding on the president. However, during the course of enquiry by the Supreme Court, the governor
can suspend the concerned chairman or member, pending the final removal order of the president on
receipt of the report of the Supreme Court.
147. A
Federalism refers to a system of government in which power is divided between a central authority
and various constituent units, such as states or provinces. In India, the constitution divides powers
and responsibilities between the central government and the state governments. The division of
powers is further enhanced by a third tier of government, the local self-government.
Dual citizenship is not an essential feature of a federal polity. In some federal countries like India,
there is single citizenship. Essential features of a federal polity:
148. C
Fundamental Duties are non-justiciable in nature as there is no legal sanction against their violation.
Moreover, the constitution does not provide for their direct enforcement by the courts. However,
Parliament is free to enforce them by suitable legislation.
Directive Principles of State Policy are also non-justiciable in nature. They are not legally enforceable
by the courts for their violation. This means that the government cannot be compelled to implement
them. However, Article 37 says that these principles are fundamental in the governance of the country
and the State shall apply these while making laws.
Fundamental Rights are justiciable and the aggrieved person can move to the courts for the violation
of his/her rights. They are defended by Supreme Court and the aggrieved person can move directly
to Supreme Court.
149. C
A bill pending in the Lok Sabha lapses (whether originating in the Lok Sabha or transmitted to it
by the Rajya Sabha).
A bill passed by the Lok Sabha but pending in the Rajya Sabha lapses.
A bill not passed by the two Houses due to disagreement and if the president has notified the
holding of a joint sitting before the dissolution of Lok Sabha, does not lapse.
A bill pending in the Rajya Sabha but not passed by the Lok Sabha does not lapse.
A bill passed by both Houses but pending assent of the president does not lapse.
A bill passed by both Houses but returned by the president for reconsideration of Houses does
not lapse.
150. A
The date of election of the Deputy Speaker is fixed by the Speaker. While on the other hand date of
election of the Speaker is fixed by the President.
There is no mandatory provision that the election of a candidate, as Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha,
shall be from either the principal opposition party or the ruling party. It is only by convention that the
position of Deputy Speaker is offered to the opposition party in India.
In case of the absence of the Speaker, the Deputy Speaker presides over the sessions of the Lok
Sabha and conducts the business in the house. The Deputy Speaker has the same power as the
Speaker when presiding over the sitting of the House.The Deputy Speaker is also elected by the Lok
Sabha from amongst its members right after the election of the Speaker has taken place. There is no
provision and or established practice of moving the motion for his election by the speaker and it is
seconded by the prime minister.
