Select the correct answer using the code given below -
Code -
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect. Article 108 of the Indian Constitution provides for the joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament to resolve a deadlock over the passage of a bill. Article 109, on the other hand, specifies the special procedure in respect of Money Bills, which cannot be referred to a joint sitting.
Statement 2 is correct. According to Article 118(4), the Speaker of the Lok Sabha presides over a joint sitting of the two Houses. In the absence of the Speaker, the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha presides. If the Deputy Speaker is also absent, the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha takes the chair. It is important to note that the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha (the Vice-President) never presides over a joint sitting as they are not a member of either House.
