Question

Who presides over the Lok Sabha in the absence of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker?

A.

Leader of the opposition

B.

Senior most member of the House

C.

A member of the six-member panel determined by the Speaker

D.

Secretary General of the Lok Sabha

Correct option is C

In the Lok Sabha (the lower house of India's Parliament), the Speaker is responsible for presiding over the sessions. In the absence of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker, a member from a panel of six members, nominated by the Speaker at the beginning of each session, presides over the proceedings. This panel is established to ensure the smooth functioning of the Lok Sabha if both the Speaker and Deputy Speaker are not present. The nominated member temporarily takes over the duties of presiding over the house but does not have the same powers as the Speaker, such as ruling on points of order.
