    Solution

    • Adjournment Motion is introduced in the Parliament to draw attention of the House to a definite matter of urgent public importance and needs the support of 50 members to be admitted. • An Adjournment Motion, should not deal with any matter that is under adjudication by court. • Under Article 112 of the Constitution of India, the President of India (not Union Finance Minister) causes to be laid before both the Houses of Parliament and 'Annual Financial Statement' for each financial year.
