Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Through Parliamentary Committees
Parliament keeps day-to-day watch over the executive mainly through its standing and ad-hoc Parliamentary Committees (Public Accounts, Estimates, Committee on Public Undertakings, Department-related Standing Committees, etc.), which scrutinise expenditure and administrative action in detail. This mechanism, not consultative committees or writs, is the core of legislative control over administration.
