2. Adjournment sine die terminates the session of the House.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is correct because an adjournment terminates a sitting of the House for a specified period, which may be hours, days, or weeks. Statement 2 is incorrect because adjournment sine die terminates a sitting of Parliament for an indefinite period but does not terminate the session (prorogation). The power of prorogation lies with the President.
