Strengthened Verification Framework Under Rule 32 This effort falls under Rule 32 of the Bar Council of India Certificate and Place of Practice (Verification) Rules, 2015 . The BCI  amended Rule 32 on June 23, 2023 , which empowered the BCI to verify, identify, and systematically remove unqualified and fake advocates from the Roll.

BJP MP Bhartruhari Mahtab Takes Oath as Pro-Tem Speaker

BJP MP Bhartruhari Mahtab Takes Oath as Pro-Tem Speaker



Seven-time MP Bhartruhari Mahtab was sworn in as the pro-tem Speaker of the 18th Lok Sabha on Monday. The oath was administered by President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan, marking the commencement of the 18th Lok Sabha's first session, which will begin with the oath-taking of the new MPs.


Understanding the Role of a Pro-Tem Speaker


A pro-tem Speaker, or temporary Speaker, is appointed for the initial meetings of the newly elected Lok Sabha, particularly to preside over the first sitting of the House, administer the oath to new members, and oversee the election of the new Speaker. This position is critical in ensuring that the newly elected House starts functioning smoothly.


Constitutional Provision


The role of the pro-tem Speaker is not explicitly defined in the Indian Constitution but is derived from parliamentary conventions and practices. Article 94 of the Indian Constitution deals with the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha, mentioning the appointment of a Speaker in the absence of a serving Speaker, which can be interpreted to include the pro-tem Speaker.


Article 95 further states that while the office of Speaker or Deputy Speaker is vacant, the duties of the office shall be performed by such member of the Lok Sabha as the President may appoint for the purpose. This forms the basis for appointing a pro-tem Speaker.


Powers and Functions


The pro-tem Speaker’s primary responsibilities include:


1. Administering Oath: The pro-tem Speaker administers the oath to newly elected members of the Lok Sabha.

2. Conducting Speaker Election: They preside over the House until a new Speaker is elected.

3. Maintaining Order: Ensuring the smooth conduct of proceedings during the initial meetings of the new Lok Sabha.


The pro-tem Speaker’s powers are limited to these functions and do not extend to making decisions on legislative matters or disciplinary actions, which are typically within the purview of the elected Speaker.


Difference Between Speaker of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha


The Speaker of the Lok Sabha is elected by the members of the Lok Sabha and presides over its sessions, maintaining order and decorum. The Speaker’s duties include deciding on points of order, ensuring the rules of procedure are followed, and representing the House in its relations with the President and the Rajya Sabha.


In contrast, the Rajya Sabha is presided over by the Vice President of India, who is the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. The Chairman of the Rajya Sabha performs similar functions but with a focus on the Upper House of Parliament. The Deputy Chairman, elected from among the members of the Rajya Sabha, assists the Chairman.


Historical Precedents


The appointment of a pro-tem Speaker is a common practice in Indian parliamentary history. Notable instances include:


- Ganesh Vasudev Mavalankar served as the pro-tem Speaker for the first Lok Sabha in 1952.

- Kamal Nath was appointed as the pro-tem Speaker in 2019, overseeing the initial proceedings of the 17th Lok Sabha.


These precedents underline the importance of the pro-tem Speaker in ensuring a seamless transition between parliamentary sessions and the continuity of legislative processes.


Conclusion


The swearing-in of Bhartruhari Mahtab as the pro-tem Speaker of the 18th Lok Sabha is a significant event, marking the beginning of a new legislative session. This role is crucial for the smooth functioning of the House, ensuring that the new MPs are inducted properly and that the election of the new Speaker is conducted efficiently.
