Practice questions

Q1Which of the following statements about the Chief Municipal Officer's role in municipal meeting business is incorrect?

A The officer prepares the agenda.
B The officer may explain a subject under discussion.
C The officer supports the record and administrative legality of proceedings.
D The officer may move a proposition and vote in the meeting.
Explanation

The incorrect statement is that the Chief Municipal Officer may move a proposition and vote. The officer prepares the agenda, may explain a subject, and supports legality and record-keeping, but elected members move propositions and vote.

Q2Consider the following statements: Statement 1: The quorum for a municipal meeting is one-third of the total members. Statement 2: A written request for a special meeting must be signed by not less than one-third of the elected members. Which option is correct?

A Only Statement 1 is correct
B Only Statement 2 is correct
C Both statements are correct
D Neither statement is correct
Explanation

Both statements are correct, but they serve different purposes. One-third of total members is the presence required to conduct a meeting, whereas one-third of elected members is the threshold for requisitioning a special meeting; options A, B and D wrongly reject at least one of these rules.

Q3Under the Rajasthan municipal meeting rules, how much short notice applies specifically to an urgent meeting?

A 24 hours' short notice
B 48 hours' short notice
C 6 days' notice
D 10 days' notice
Explanation

An urgent municipal meeting requires 48 hours' short notice, so option B is correct. The 6-day notice applies to an ordinary meeting, while the 10-day period concerns the Chief Municipal Officer calling a requisitioned special meeting after the Chairperson's default.

Q4Who is responsible for the custody and maintenance of municipal records, including proceedings and minutes?

A Chief Municipal Officer
B Chairperson
C Vice-Chairperson
D Presiding member chosen for a meeting
Explanation

The Chief Municipal Officer is responsible for the custody and maintenance of municipal records, including proceedings and minutes. The Chairperson or another presiding member regulates the meeting, but that presiding role does not transfer custody of the records.

Q5Consider the following statements about municipal meetings: 1. An ordinary general meeting must be held once within 60 days. 2. At least 6 meetings must be held in a calendar year. 3. If the Chairperson does not call a properly requisitioned special meeting within the 7-day period, the Chief Municipal Officer must call it within 10 days after that period expires. Which of the statements are correct?

A 1, 2 and 3
B 1 and 2 only
C 2 and 3 only
D 1 and 3 only
Explanation

All three statements are correct. The ordinary-meeting rules combine the 60-day interval with a minimum of 6 meetings in a calendar year, while the special-meeting default sequence gives the Chairperson 7 days and then requires the Chief Municipal Officer to act within the next 10 days; options B, C and D each omit one valid rule.
