Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Detailed Explanation:
✅ Statement 1 – Correct: Article 108 provides for a joint sitting to resolve deadlocks on Ordinary Bills if a bill is rejected by the other House, amendments are not agreed upon, or more than six months elapse without passage.
❌ Statement 2 – Incorrect: Money Bills (Article 110) cannot have a joint sitting. The Lok Sabha has overriding powers; the Rajya Sabha can only recommend within 14 days, after which the bill is deemed passed.
❌ Statement 3 – Incorrect: Constitution Amendment Bills (Article 368) require passage by special majority in each House separately. No provision exists for a joint sitting in case of disagreement.
