UPSC 2025: Consider the following statements : I. On the dissolution of the House of the People, the Speaker shall not vacate his/her office until immediately before the first meeting of the House of the People after the dissolution. II. According to the provisions of the Constitution of India, a Member of the House of the People on being elected as Speaker shall resign from his/her political party immediately. III. The Speaker of the House of the People may be removed from his/her office by a resolution of the House of the People passed by a majority of all the then Members of the House, provided that no resolution shall be moved unless at least fourteen days’ notice has been given of the intention to move the resolution. Which of the statements given above are correct?
(a)I and II only
(b)II and III only
(c)I and III only
(d)I, II and III
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) I and III only
Statements I and III are constitutionally correct: Article 94 second proviso lets the Speaker continue after dissolution until just before the first meeting of the new Lok Sabha, and the Speaker can be removed by a resolution passed by an effective majority with 14 days’ notice. Statement II is wrong—there is no constitutional requirement for a newly-elected Speaker to resign from his/her political party; the Tenth Schedule only grants an exemption from disqualification if the Speaker voluntarily quits the party. Therefore only I and III are correct. ([visionias.in](https://www.visionias.in/blog/subject-strategy/upsc-cse-prelims-2025-detailed-analysis-polity-governance-part-1?utm_source=openai))
