Correct Answer: Option (A) — 1 only

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified

Statement 1 is correct: Under Article 96(1) of the Constitution, at any sitting of the Lok Sabha, while any resolution for the removal of the Speaker is under consideration, the Speaker shall not preside.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Under Article 96(2), the Speaker has the right to speak and take part in the proceedings of the House while a removal resolution is under consideration.

Statement 3 is incorrect: Under Article 96(2), the Speaker is entitled to vote in the first instance on such resolution (unlike normal sittings where they vote only in case of a tie), though they cannot cast a casting vote in case of equality of votes.

Elimination Heuristic & Exam Approach

Principles of natural justice: An accused official cannot preside over their own removal (presiding = conflict of interest), but they must be given the right to defend themselves (right to speak and vote in first instance). Hence, Statement 2 is too extreme to be true.
