Question
An ordinance is called a temporary law. Which of the following statementscorrectly describes the same?(a) Only the Cabinet can prepare an ordinance.(b) It is issued when the Parliament is not functioning.(c) If the Parliament does not approve it within six weeks it becomesinoperative.(d) Only the President can promulgate an ordinance.
Solution
The statement that correctly describes an ordinance as a temporary law is:
(b) It is issued when the Parliament is not functioning.
This is because an ordinance is a law or regulation made by a city or town government without the action of the legislature. It is typically used in emergency situations when the legislative body is not in session and a law needs to be put into effect immediately.
(c) If the Parliament does not approve it within six weeks it becomes inoperative.
This is also correct. If the ordinance is not approved by the Parliament within six weeks of its next session, it becomes inoperative. However, it may be re-promulgated.
The other options are incorrect:
(a) Only the Cabinet can prepare an ordinance.
This is incorrect. An ordinance can be proposed by any member of the government, not just the Cabinet.
(d) Only the President can promulgate an ordinance.
This is also incorrect. While the President does have the power to promulgate ordinances, they can also be issued by a Governor or a Mayor, depending on the jurisdiction.
