(a)संसदीय कार्यपद्धतीमध्ये शून्य प्रहर ही नबिन्यपूर्ण संकल्पना भारतमध्ये उद्‌भवस आली.

(c)ही संकल्पना 1962 पासून प्रत्यक्षात आली.
(d)शून्य प्रहर हे संसद सदस्यांना उपलब्ध असलेले अनौपचारिक स्वरूपाचे माध्यम आहे.
Zero Hour is an Indian innovation in parliamentary procedures introduced in 1962, occurring right after Question Hour, functioning as an informal device to raise urgent matters without prior notice.
संसदेबाबत खालील विधाने विचारत घ्या : अ. लक्षवेधी सूचनेची सर्वप्रथम तरतुद सन 1954 मध्ये करण्यात आली. ब. लक्षवेधी संबंधी सूचना सदस्याद्वारे लिखित स्वरूपात सकाळी 10.00 पर्यंत द्यावी लागते. क. एका बैठकीसाठी सभासद एकापेक्षा जास्त लक्षवेधी सूचना देऊ शकत नाही. वरीलपैकी कोणते विधान चुकीचे आहे ? Consider the following statements regarding the Parliament : a. The provision for the Calling Attention Notices was first made in the year 1954. b. Notices of Calling Attention have to be given by members in writing by 10.00 am. c. A member can give not more than one Calling Attention Notice for any one sitting. Which of the above statements is not correct?
Statement 'b' is incorrect because notices for Calling Attention must be given by members before 10.00 am, but let's verify standard rules: Calling attention notices are given by 10:00 AM, and statement 'c' is correct (not more than one). Option 3 marks statement 'b' or relevant as incorrect based on specific time rules.
लोकसभेच्या ‘शून्य प्रहर’ (Zero Hour) संदर्भात खालील विधाने विचारात घ्या : Consider the following statements regarding ‘Zero Hour’ of Lok Sabha :
(a)प्रश्नोत्तराच्या तासानंतर आणि कागदपत्रे ठेवण्याआधीची वेळ आणि सभागृहात कोणतेही सूचीबद्ध कामकाज सुरू होण्यापूर्वीची वेळ ‘शून्य प्रहर’ म्हणून ओळखली जाते. / The time immediately following the question hour and laying of papers and before any listed business is taken up in the house has come to be known as the zero hour.
(b)शून्य प्रहर दरम्यान मुद्दे मांडण्यासाठी, सदस्य दररोज सकाळी 8.00 ते 9.30 या वेळेत सभापतीस सूचना देतात. / For raising matters during the zero hour members has to give notice between 8.00 a.m. to 9.30 a.m. everyday to the Speaker.
(c)सध्या, शून्य तासादरम्यान प्राधान्य क्रमानुसार दररोज तीस प्रकरणे (मुद्दे) मांडण्याची परवानगी आहे. / At present, thirty matters per day as per their priority are allowed to be raised during zero hour.
(d)शून्य तासाबाबत नियमात कोणतीही तरतूद नसल्याने, कोणत्याही दिवशी किती प्रकरणे मांडता येतील यावर कमाल मर्यादा नाही. / There is no maximum limit on the number of matters that can be raised on any given day as there is no provision in rules about Zero Hour.
Zero Hour is an Indian parliamentary innovation. Statement A accurately describes its timing (after Question Hour before listed business), and Statement D is correct because Zero Hour is not mentioned in the Rules of Procedure, hence there is no formal maximum limit on matters.
