Q. The President of India can dissolve the Lok Sabha before completion of term _____.
Answer: On the advice of the Prime Minister
Notes: Dissolution of the House means the end of the life of the Lok Sabha either by an order made by the President under article 85 (2) (b) of the Constitution or on the expiration of the period of five years from the date appointed for its first meeting. Articles 83(2) and 85(2) of the Constitution provide for dissolution of the Lok Sabha, ahead of expiry of its tenure. The President is bound to dissolve Lok Sabha only when advised by Prime Minister. But, this advice will not be binding on the President, when Prime Minister loses his majority or unable to prove his majority or a vote of no-confidence passed against him or when he is not facing the Parliament, but President has proof that ruling does not have a majority.
