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?

(a) 1 only

(b) 2 only

(c) Both 1 and 2

(d) Neither 1 nor 2

• M.Laxmikanth Page 17.9: while discussing the vote power of president, it means Private member’s bill as a bill introduced by any member of the parliament who’s not a minister. Hence first statement is wrong.
• PRSIndia.org and Indian express 2016 : only 14 private members bill have been passed since 1952. So statement #2 also wrong. Alternatively, same facts also, given in the book, Our Parliament by Subhash Kashyap.
