Arrange the different stages of passing of a bill into a law in their correct sequence:
A resolution is passed to admit the bill for discussion
The bill is referred to the President of India – write what happens next if s/he does not sign it
The bill is referred to other House and is passed
The bill is passed in the house in which it was proposed
The bill is read clause by clause and each is voted upon
The bill is referred to the subcommittee – the committee makes some changes and sends it back to the house for discussion
The concerned minister proposes the need for a bill
Legislative department in ministry of law, drafts a bill
Explanation
The law-making process begins with the concerned minister proposing the need for a bill (vii), followed by the legislative department drafting it (viii). The bill is then introduced in the House when a resolution is passed to admit it for discussion (i). It may be referred to a sub-committee for detailed examination (vi), after which it is read clause by clause and voted upon (v). Once passed in the originating House (iv), it is sent to the other House where it undergoes the same procedure and is passed (iii). Finally, the bill is sent to the President for assent (ii). If the President does not sign it, the bill can be sent back for reconsideration.
