Consider the following statements :
(1) The Legislative Council of a State in India can be larger in size than half of the Legislative
Assembly of that particular State.
(2) The Governor of a State nominates the Chairman of Legislative Council of that particular
State.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The maximum strength of the council is fixed at one-third of the total strength of the assembly and the minimum strength is fixed at 40 (with some exceptions). The Chairman of the Legislative Council is elected by the council itself from amongst its members.Tikdam: if it can be larger than half, it can be of any size so obviously constitution would limit the size and that is limited to 1/3 chairpserosns of all assemblies/ councils are elected from within
