the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Assembly
composition of the Legislative Council
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. composition of the Legislative Assembly of the State.
Section 52 of the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution deals with the composition of the Legislative Assembly of the State. It states that the Legislative Assembly of the State shall consist of not more than 87 members, of whom not more than 43 shall be elected from the Kashmir Valley, not more than 37 from the Jammu region and not more than 7 from Ladakh.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option B is about the duration of the Legislative Assembly. Section 53 of the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution deals with the duration of the Legislative Assembly. It states that the Legislative Assembly shall continue for a period of five years from the date appointed for its first meeting, unless sooner dissolved by the Governor.
- Option C is about the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Assembly. Section 54 of the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution deals with the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Assembly. It states that the Legislative Assembly shall, at its first sitting after each general election, and at the commencement of every session, elect one of its members to be Speaker and another member to be Deputy Speaker.
- Option D is about the composition of the Legislative Council. The Jammu and Kashmir Constitution does not have a provision for a Legislative Council.
