What is the significance of Article 100(2) of the Indian Constitution with respect to validity of proceedings in Parliament despite vacancies in membership?
The significance of Article 100(2) of the Indian Constitution is that it allows either House of Parliament to continue its proceedings and make decisions even if there are vacancies in the membership. This ensures that the work of the Parliament can proceed without being held up due to a lack of quorum, as long as the minimum number of members required to form a quorum is met. Furthermore, any proceedings in Parliament will be considered valid even if it is discovered later that some person who was not entitled to vote or participate did so.
