Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 and 3 only
Rule 8(1) of the Rules of Procedure in Lok Sabha states that the election of the Deputy Speaker is to be held "on such date as the Speaker may fix", so Statement 1 is correct. There is only a convention—no constitutional or statutory mandate—regarding which party should get the post, so Statement 2 is incorrect. When the Deputy Speaker presides, Article 95 and the Rules give him all the powers of the Speaker and his rulings are final, so Statement 3 is correct. The motion for election is ordinarily moved by the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and seconded by another member, not by the Speaker and the Prime Minister, so Statement 4 is incorrect. Therefore, only 1 and 3 are correct. ([indiankanoon.org](https://indiankanoon.org/doc/103164029/?utm_source=openai))
