Speaker of Lok Sabha

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

The presiding officer of Lok Sabha, responsible for upholding parliamentary traditions and neutrality. Elected from among members, the Speaker administers debates, decides on points of order, and can discipline unruly MPs. They also determine if a bill is a money bill, impacting legislative procedure. The Speaker’s rulings are generally final and not subject to judicial review. Even after disqualification from party membership (anti-defection law), the Speaker continues in office until the House dissolves. Revered as the “guardian of the House,” the Speaker embodies the independence of the legislature by ensuring fair debate, protecting opposition rights, and maintaining dignity in proceedings.
