What is the condition for the validity of proceedings in Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament) as per the Constitution of Pakistan?
Constitutional Basis:
Article 64 and related provisions of the Constitution of Pakistan require a quorum for parliamentary proceedings to be valid.
A quorum is the minimum number of members that must be present in the House during any sitting.
Without a quorum, decisions, resolutions, or votes cannot be considered legally valid.
✅ Correct Answer:
A) The presence of a specific number of members
📝 Explanation (5–6 lines):
The Constitution mandates that a minimum number of members (quorum) must be present for any proceedings of the Majlis-e-Shoora to be valid. This ensures that decisions are representative and not taken by only a few members. The quorum protects the democratic principle of collective participation and prevents any single group from dominating the legislative process. It applies to both the National Assembly and the Senate.
