    D A is false but R is true Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A point of order is an extraordinary process which, when raised, has the effect of suspending the proceedings before the House and the member who is on her/his legs gives way. This is meant to assist the Speaker in enforcing the Rules, Directions and provisions of the Constitution for regulating the business of the House. Hence statement 1 is not correct. It should essentially refer to procedure and relate to the business before the House at the moment and is considered to be an important tool of legislative control. Hence statement 2 is correct.
