2021-08-19 14:40:44 Summoning a session, adjournment, prorogation and dissolution

1. Each House of the Parliament meets when it is summoned to do so by the President.

2. The President specifies the time and place at which the House is to meet.

3. But not more than 6 months should elapse between two sessions of either House.

So, what is a session?

4. Well, a session is the period of time from first sitting of the House (after a summon) to its prorogation (or dissolution in case of Lok Sabha).

5. There are usually three sessions in a year. They are the budget session (February to May), the monsoon session (July to September), and the winter session (November to December).

6. Each session proceeds through many sittings. These sittings can be terminated by adjournment, prorogation or dissolution.

7. Adjournment is done by the presiding officer of the respective House – Speaker in Lok Sabha and Chairman (Vice President) in Rajya Sabha.

8. Adjournment only ends the sitting of a session, but the session continues.

9. But in case of prorogation, which is brought out by the President, not only sitting but the session too ends.

10. [The period between the prorogation of a House and its reassembly in a new session is called ‘recess.’]

11. And when a House is dissolved – only possible in Lok Sabha, and done by President – then not only the session, but the very life of the House ends.

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we run
Into the abyss, away from the blazing guns.
