Q. Who can abolish the State Legislative Council? (MPPSC Assistant Professor)
Answer: The Parliament
Notes: Article 169 of the Indian Constitution allows Parliament to abolish a State Legislative Council. The process requires the State Assembly to pass a resolution by a special majority before Parliament acts. The President can only give assent to such bills passed by Parliament. The Governor may recommend a resolution but cannot abolish the Council. The Speaker's role is limited to presiding over Assembly sessions and does not involve abolishing the Council.
