Therefore, the ultimate power of passing an ordinary bill is vested in the assembly. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
At most, the council can detain or delay the bill for a period of four months—three months in the first instance and one month in the second instance.
The Constitution does not provide for the mechanism of a joint sitting of both the Houses to resolve the disagreement between the two Houses over a bill. Hence, statement 2 is NOT correct.
Moreover, when a bill, which has originated in the council and was sent to the assembly, is rejected by the assembly, the bill ends and becomes dead. Hence, statement 3 is correct.
