A Secret Sitting of the Central Legislative Assembly was held on 24th February 1942 to discuss the war situation. According to official records, the motion for the secret sitting was moved by Sir Sultan Ahmed, the Law Member of the Viceroy’s Executive Council. However, among the given options, G. V. Mavalankar was the President (Speaker) of the Central Legislative Assembly at that time and presided over this specific session. While he didn’t move the primary motion, he was the central figure managing the proceedings of the ‘Secret Sitting Session’. Given the options, and acknowledging the likely inaccuracy of the question asking who ‘moved the motion’ when the mover was Sir Sultan Ahmed, G. V. Mavalankar, as the presiding officer, is the most plausible intended answer among the choices provided, being the person most directly associated with the conduct of the session.

The Secret Sitting of the Central Legislative Assembly in 1942 was a significant event during World War II, allowing for a confidential discussion on critical matters.

The Central Legislative Assembly was the legislature of British India. G. V. Mavalankar served as its President from 1946 until India’s independence, but he also presided over it earlier, including in 1942. Sir Sultan Ahmed was one of the Indian members of the Viceroy’s Executive Council in 1942.
