Parliamentary oversight over the Executive: Which item below is wrongly listed as a method for Parliament to control the Council of Ministers (the real executive)? Recognize that multiple procedural tools exist to scrutinize and hold the executive accountable on the floor of the House. Choose the option that is NOT a valid method — or select ‘‘None of the above’’ if all listed are valid.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: None of the above

Explanation:

What is being asked? Identify whether any listed device is not a method of parliamentary control over the executive.

Given data

  • Questions during Question Hour
  • Supplementary questions that follow starred questions
  • Adjournment motions to discuss a definite matter of urgent public importance


Concept/Approach
All three listed items are standard, well-recognized instruments for legislative oversight and executive accountability in the Indian Parliament. Therefore none of them is wrongly listed.


Step-by-step reasoning
• Questions → seek information/clarifications; compel ministerial responsibility.• Supplementaries → follow-ups that press for precision and candour.• Adjournment motion → an extraordinary device to censure or draw urgent attention.


Common pitfalls
Mistaking supplementary questions as informal or non-procedural; in fact, they are integral to Question Hour.


Final Answer
None of the above
