Adjournment Motion

Context

The winter session of Parliament got underway but both houses faced early adjournments after opposition demanded discussions on various issues.

What is Adjournment Motion?

A motion for an adjournment of the business of the House is moved for discussing a “definite matter of urgent public importance”, with the Speaker’s consent.
The notice for this is to be given before 10 am on a given day to the Lok Sabha Secretary-General. This is not a provision available in the Rajya Sabha.
An adjournment suspends the work of a sitting for a specific period, which could be for hours, days, or even weeks. The time for reassembly is clearly specified.
Difference between Adjournment and Adjournment Sine Die:
- Adjournment: Suspends a sitting and sets a time for reassembly.
- Adjournment Sine Die: Terminates a sitting indefinitely, with no set date for reassembly.
Power of Adjournment: The presiding officer of the House (e.g., the Speaker in the Lok Sabha) has the power to adjourn the sitting.
Termination of a Sitting: A sitting can end in several ways:
- Adjournment
- Adjournment sine die
- Prorogation
- Dissolution

Other Parliamentary Procedures:

Recess: The period between prorogation and the start of a new session is called recess.
Calling Attention: A Member of Parliament (MP) draws attention to an urgent matter of public importance, after which the relevant Minister makes a brief statement, and MPs may ask clarifications.
Crossing the Floor: A breach of parliamentary etiquette occurs when a member passes between the Speaker and the person addressing the House.
Motion of Thanks: A formal motion expressing gratitude to the President for their address to Parliament under Article 87(1) of the Constitution.
Point of Order: A question raised about the interpretation of the Rules of Procedure or constitutional provisions relating to parliamentary business, which is referred to the Chair for decision.
Un-starred Question: A question not called for oral answer in the House, with a written answer laid on the Table of the House.
Sessions of Parliament: A session refers to the period during which Parliament meets almost every day to conduct its business.
- Budget Session: February to May
- Monsoon Session: July to September
- Winter Session: November to December
