Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

In 1942, during the height of the Second World War and the Quit India Movement, the Central Legislative Assembly held a secret sitting to discuss the prevailing political and security situation. The motion for this Secret Sitting Session was moved by M. S. Aney (Madhav Shrihari Aney) [1]. At the time, Aney was a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council, serving as the member in charge of Indians Overseas. Secret sittings are a parliamentary privilege where the House can exclude strangers and prohibit the publication of proceedings to discuss sensitive matters. While the Constituent Assembly later met in 1946 to draft the Constitution, the 1942 session refers to the wartime Central Legislative Assembly. M. S. Aney's role in moving this motion is a documented precedent in Indian parliamentary history [1].
