With reference to the Parliament of India, consider the following statements : 1. A private member's bill is a bill presented by a Member of Parliament who is not elected but only nominated by the President of India. 2. Recently, a private member's bill has been passed in the Parliament of India for the first time in its history. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Gives a general rule: a 'Private Bill' is introduced by any member of Parliament other than a minister.

A student can combine this with the fact that 'member of Parliament' normally includes both elected and nominated MPs to test whether nominated-only MPs would fit this definition.

States plainly that when a non-minister proposes a bill, it is called a private member's Bill (contrasting it with a Government Bill introduced by a minister).

Use the definition of 'non-minister' and the formal categories of MPs (elected vs nominated) to assess whether 'non-elected but nominated' persons are encompassed.

Repeats the table-style rule: private bills are introduced by any MP other than a minister and do not reflect government policy.

A student can check whether nominated members are legally 'members of Parliament' for introduction rights to see if they can introduce private member's bills.

Distinguishes ordinary bills (which can be introduced either by a minister or by a private member) from money bills (only by a minister).

This lets a student narrow the enquiry to ordinary/private member bills and then look up whether nominated MPs are permitted to introduce ordinary bills.

Notes that a bill may be introduced in either House by a member of the House (though often by a minister), reinforcing that 'member' is the operative term for who can introduce bills.

A student could combine this with constitutional/Parliamentary definitions of 'member of the House' (elected vs nominated) to evaluate the statement.

Explicitly states that 'recently, a private member's bill has been passed in the Parliament of India for the first time in its history', indicating such an event occurred and was noteworthy.

A student could check the publication date or edition of this source and then search contemporary parliamentary records or news around that date to find the exact date when this 'first' passage occurred.

Defines a private bill as one introduced by any MP other than a minister and notes private bills have a lesser chance of approval, explaining why a first passage would be rare and notable.

Knowing rarity, a student could focus on recent parliamentary sessions (from the source's timeframe) when unusual legislative events were more likely reported to locate the first passage.

Repeats the distinction between private and government bills and that private members introduce ordinary bills, clarifying the procedural category of the bill in question.

Use this procedural classification to search parliamentary bill lists for 'private member' or 'private member's bill' that reached passage status in the likely timeframe suggested by related sources.

Gives the simple textbook definition that a bill proposed by a non-minister is a private member's bill and outlines the lifecycle of bills, implying where records of introduction and passage are kept.

A student could consult the parliamentary bill lifecycle (introduction, stages, assent) and check official parliamentary archives for the entry where a private member's bill completed all stages.

States ordinary bills can be introduced by ministers or private members, distinguishing ordinary/private-member ordinary bills from money bills (minister-only), helping narrow searches to ordinary bill records.

Limit searches to ordinary bills introduced by private members in parliamentary records (excluding money bills) to identify the first private member's ordinary bill that was passed.
