खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान चुकीचे आहे ?

The correct answer is Option B (If on the second occasion, the council again rejects the bill or does not pass it within 14 days, the bill shall be deemed to have been passed by both houses.).

Key Points:
• The legislative procedure regarding an ordinary bill in a state legislature with a bicameral setup is governed by Article 197 of the Indian Constitution.
• ⏳ First Occasion: When a bill passed by the Legislative Assembly is transmitted to the Legislative Council, the Council can delay it for a maximum of 3 months.
• Second Occasion (Statement 2 is INCORRECT): If the Assembly passes the bill a second time, the Legislative Council can delay it for a maximum of 1 month (30 days), NOT 14 days! (14 days applies to Money Bills under Article 198). If 1 month elapses, the bill is deemed passed by both Houses.
• The total delaying power of the Legislative Council over an ordinary bill is 4 months (3 months in the first instance + 1 month in the second instance).
• Under Article 197, the Council has no veto; the will of the Assembly ultimately prevails.
• Key Takeaway: On the second occasion, the Legislative Council can delay an ordinary bill for only 1 month (not 14 days).
