Q19 (CDS-II/2020) Polity & Governance › Parliament › Parliamentary presiding officers Answer Verified

Which one among the following is not correct about the Secretary-General of the Lok Sabha?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Secretary-General of the Lok Sabha is the principal administrative officer and the highest-ranking permanent official of the Lok Sabha Secretariat. Appointed by the Speaker, the Secretary-General serves as the 'first institutional adviser' to the Speaker on constitutional and statutory powers, as well as procedural matters governing House proceedings. While the Secretary-General acts under the authority and direction of the Speaker and exercises delegated authority to manage the Secretariat's functional units, they do not pass orders in the name of the Speaker. In the Indian parliamentary system, orders are typically issued by the Secretariat or the Secretary-General in their own administrative capacity under the Speaker's overall direction, rather than 'in the name of' the Speaker, which is a formal legal distinction. Therefore, statement 4 is incorrect as it misrepresents the formal nature of the Secretary-General's administrative orders.
