44. Committee Section (Wakf Boards) 44. COMMITTEE SECTION (WAKF BOARDS) 44.1 Functions: The Committee Section (Wakf Boards) provides secretarial assistance to the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the functioning of Wakf Boards. The Committee consists of 30 Members of both the Houses of Parliament (10 from Rajya Sabha and 20 from Lok Sabha). The Committee has been further divided into four Sub-Committees, which have been allotted different States/UTs. This Committee is governed by the Rules relating to Select Committee on Bills of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Council of States. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment is the nodal Ministry dealing with the Wakf matters in the country. 44.2 Constitution of the Committee: At a sitting of the Rajya Sabha held on 9th September, 1996, a discussion had taken in the form of the Calling Attention on ‘Misuse, Massive Lease and Sale of Various Wakf properties in the country by certain individuals and the action taken by Government in regard thereto.’ During the discussion, it was felt that the issue as such was of larger implication and needed to be gone into in detail in all parts of the country. It was, therefore, unanimously decided to constitute a House Committee to go into the whole gamut of issues pertaining to Wakf properties all over the country. After consultation with leaders of various parties, the Hon’ble Chairman, Rajya Sabha had nominated nine Member House Committee on 29th October, 1996 under the Chairmanship of Shri Sikander Bakht, M.P. The Committee in its first meeting decided to associate with it Members of Lok Sabha also with a view to have broader representation of the two Houses, on the Committee. Accordingly, a Joint Parliamentary Committee on the functioning of Wakf Boards with eleven Members of Rajya sabha and twenty Members of Lok Sabha was constituted in January, 1997. However, with the dissolution of the 11th Lok Sabha on 4th December, 1997 the Committee became defunct. After the constitution of 12th Lok Sabha, the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the functioning of Wakf Boards was reconstituted on 28th January, 1999 under the Chairmanship of Shri K. Rahman Khan, M.P. This Committee continued till 26th April, 1999 when it again became defunct due to dissolution of the 12th Lok Sabha. The present Committee was constituted on 27th May, 2000 under the Chairmanship of Shri Sikander Bakht, M.P. 44.3 Tours/visits: The details of the tours/visits undertaken by the present Sub-Committees of the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the functioning of Wakf Boards are as under: Sl.

  • Chapter 43 Electoral Statistics
    CHAPTER 43 ELECTORAL STATISTICS 43.1 India is a constitutional democracy with a parliamentary system of government, and at the heart of the system is a commitment to hold regular, free and fair elections. These elections determine the composition of the Government, the membership of the two houses of parliament, the state and union territory legislative assemblies, and the Presidency and vice-presidency. Elections are conducted according to the constitutional provisions, supplemented by laws made by Parliament. The major laws are Representation of the People Act, 1950, which mainly deals with the preparation and revision of electoral rolls, the Representation of the People Act, 1951 which deals, in detail, with all aspects of conduct of elections and post election disputes. 43.2 The Election Commission of India is an autonomous, quasi-judiciary constitutional body of India. Its mission is to conduct free and fair elections in India. It was established on 25 January, 1950 under Article 324 of the Constitution of India. Since establishment of Election Commission of India, free and fair elections have been held at regular intervals as per the principles enshrined in the Constitution, Electoral Laws and System. The Constitution of India has vested in the Election Commission of India the superintendence, direction and control of the entire process for conduct of elections to Parliament and Legislature of every State and to the offices of President and Vice- President of India. The Election Commission is headed by the Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners. There was just one Chief Election Commissioner till October, 1989. In 1989, two Election Commissioners were appointed, but were removed again in January 1990.

  • Dissolution of the Lok Sabha
    DISSOLUTION OF THE LOK SABHA Tanusri Prasanna* Introduction The dissolution of the twelfth Lok Sabha on the twenty sixth day of April, 1999, by the President Mr. K.R. Narayanan, and the role of the latter in the intense political decision making preceding the same, have thrown open afresh the debate as to the exact role of the President as envisaged in the Constitution in the matter of dissolution. This paper attempts to analyse this issue in light of various controversial views on the subject. Pre-independence constitutional debates in India were influenced by two models of democratic government: the British Parliamentary system, and the Presidential system of the United States. In the final analysis the British model being closer home, "every instalment of constitutional reform was regarded as a step towards the establishment of a democratic and responsible government as it functioned in Britain."' Thus, it is widely accepted by various scholars that the founding fathers of the Constitution had opted for the parliamentary system of government. Working on this premise, the concepts such as executive decision making as well as delineating limits and laying a system of checks and balances on the different wings of the government as provided by the inherent federal structure, have been debated over and over again. However, when the Constitution actually came into force, a reading of its provisions sparked off a new line of thought as to the very nature of government, and the Presidential model of the United States which had been earlier rejected was now compared and contrasted.2 These discussions and debates were mainly concerned with the respective powers of the President and the Prime minister in the Constitution and in cases where both entities were strong the clash of opinions was soon recognised.

  • Lok Sabha’ Were Adopted by the Council of States and the House of People Respectively
    Parliament - By Jatin Verma Parliament - The Parliament is the legislative organ of the Union government - It occupies a central position in the Indian democratic political system - It has ‘Westminster’ model of govt. ● Articles 79 to 122 in Part V of the Constitution deal with the powers, duration, officers, organisation, privileges, composition, procedures, etc. of the Parliament. Organisation of Parliament ● The Parliament consists of 3 parts viz, the President, the Council of States and the House of the People. ● In 1954, the Hindi names ‘Rajya Sabha’ and ‘Lok Sabha’ were adopted by the Council of States and the House of People respectively. - Rajya Sabha is the Upper House (2nd Chamber or House of Elders which represents the states and UTs). - Lok Sabha is the Lower House (1st Chamber or Popular House, which represents the people of India as a whole). © Jatin Verma 2017-18. All Rights Reserved Parliament ● President is an integral part of the Parliament, because: - A bill cannot become law without the his assent. - He summons and prorogues both the Houses - He can dissolve the Lok Sabha - He addresses both the Houses - He issues ordinances when they are not in session, etc. ● In Britain, the Parliament consists of the Crown (King or Queen), the House of Lords (Upper House) and the House of Commons (Lower House). ● By contrast, in USA, the legislature, which is known as Congress, consists of the Senate (Upper House) and the House of Representatives (Lower House). ● India has the ‘President-in-Parliament’ like the ‘Crown-in-Parliament’ in Britain. ● The presidential form of government, lays stress on the separation of legislative and executive organs.

  • Introduction to Indian Politics
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Introduction to Indian Politics Borooah, Vani University of Ulster December 2015 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/76597/ MPRA Paper No. 76597, posted 05 Feb 2017 07:28 UTC Chapter 1 Introduction to Indian Politics In his celebrated speech, delivered to India’s Constituent Assembly on the eve of the 15th August 1947, to herald India’s independence from British rule, Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, famously asked if the newly independent nation was “brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future”. If one conceives of India, as many Indians would, in terms of a trinity of attributes – democratic in government, secular in outlook, and united by geography and a sense of nationhood – then, in terms of the first of these, it would appear to have succeeded handsomely. Since, the Parliamentary General Election of 1951, which elected the first cohort of members to its lower house of Parliament (the Lok Sabha), India has proceeded to elect, in unbroken sequence, another 15 such cohorts so that the most recent Lok Sabha elections of 2014 gave to the country a government drawn from members to the 16th Lok Sabha. Given the fractured and fraught experiences with democracy of India’s immediate neighbours (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar) and of a substantial number of countries which gained independence from colonial rule, it is indeed remarkable that independent India has known no other form of governmental authority save through elections. Elections (which represent ‘formal democracy’), are a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for ‘substantive democracy’.
