Q141. Consider the following statements regarding the Pro-tem Speaker of the Rajasthan Assembly: I. He is usually the senior-most member of the newly elected house. II. He is appointed by the Governor. III. He possesses all the powers of the Speaker. IV. His office ceases to exist as soon as the new Speaker is elected by the house. Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation
All statements are correct: the Pro-tem Speaker is typically the senior-most member, is appointed by the Governor, holds full Speaker powers temporarily, and leaves office once a permanent Speaker is elected. This transitional role is critical for the orderly commencement of a new legislative term, bridging the gap between the general election and the formal organization of the House.

Q142. Which of the following is NOT a collective privilege of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly?
Explanation
The exemption from jury service is considered an individual privilege of a member rather than a collective privilege of the House. Collective privileges include the right to punish for contempt, the right to exclude strangers, and the right to be informed of a member’s arrest. Individual privileges are specifically designed to allow each member to perform their duties without personal distraction.

Q143. By established parliamentary convention, who is generally appointed as the Pro-tem Speaker of a newly constituted Rajasthan Legislative Assembly?

By long-standing convention, the Governor appoints the member with the most seniority-- based on age or number of terms served--as the Pro-tem Speaker. This practice ensures that the temporary head of the House is an experienced legislator who commands respect across party lines. Seniority serves as an objective and neutral criterion for this brief but essential role in the Assembly.

Q149. Under Article 215 of the Constitution, the Rajasthan High Court is recognized as a Court of Record. Which of the following best defines this status?
Explanation
Being a court of record implies two primary functions for the judiciary.
