Evolution of Colonial Legislative Powers

The initial statement is flawed because the 1861 legislation explicitly withheld budgetary voting privileges. The second statement is accurate as the 1909 Morley-Minto reforms inaugurated the right to ask supplementary queries. The third statement holds true since the 1919 framework finally granted legislators the procedural tool of adjournment motions to highlight urgent issues.

The Assertion and Reason 1 are correct, as the 1909 Act introduced supplementary questions, deepening parliamentary engagement. However, Reason 2 is factually incorrect regarding 1909; the power to move adjournment motions was not granted until the Government of India Act of 1919.

In 1912, the governing statute was the 1909 Act. This allowed you to ask supplementary questions (Action 2). However, voting on the budget (Action 1) was still denied (having not been granted in 1861 or 1909), and moving adjournment motions (Action 3) would not be legalized until the 1919 Act.

Only two claims are valid. The first claim is false because the 1861 Act did not bestow budgetary voting rights. The second claim is true as the 1909 Act introduced supplementary questions. The third claim is true as the 1919 Act allowed adjournment motions.
