The Parliament of India consists of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha following the Bicameral Legislation. Every Bill must be approved by both Houses of the Parliament to become law. The Constitution clearly anticipates situations where disagreement or deadlock may arise between the two Houses during the legislative process. To address such deadlocks and ensure continuity of governance, the Constitution provides the mechanism of a Joint Sitting. A Joint Sitting of Parliament allows both Houses to deliberate together and arrive at a final decision.<\/span><\/p>\n
