Explanation

Under Article 108 of the Indian Constitution, a joint sitting can be summoned by the President to resolve a deadlock between the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on ordinary legislation [1]. Historically, only three bills have been passed through this mechanism. The first was the Dowry Prohibition Bill, 1959 (passed in 1961) [1]. The second was the Banking Service Commission (Repeal) Bill, 1977 (passed in 1978) [1]. The third was the Prevention of Terrorism Bill, 2002, which was passed in a joint sitting on March 26, 2002, after being rejected by the Rajya Sabha [2]. The Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, was not resolved via a joint sitting. Constitutional Amendment Bills are specifically excluded from this procedure as they must be passed by each House separately under Article 368 [2].
