920-567: The "final" status given by the Indian constitution does not automatically immune the Indian speaker's decision or certificate from judicial review.

966-603: The Aadhar Bill was a Money Bill by a vote of 4–1. The 1937 Constitution of Ireland defines a money bill ( Irish : bille airgid ) as one concerning only specified financial matters.

The specified financial matters are any of

1012-419: The Cabinet ruling "in trust" for the monarch. However, the royal prerogative belongs to the Crown and not to any of the ministers, and there are rare exceptions where the monarch may be obliged to act unilaterally to prevent manifestly unconstitutional acts.

1196-560: The House of Commons was rejected by the House of Lords. A government whose budget (that is the Finance Bill) is rejected can only resign or dissolve Parliament, because without money it is impossible to govern. The rejection of the Finance Bill in 1909 by the Lords prompted the then British government to initiate steps to curtail the powers of the House of Lords in this regard. This is evident from

Munoz-Flores (1990) held that: "A law passed in violation of

1288-622: The Speaker's decision "final" for the purpose of the two Houses of the Parliament, not for the Supreme Court of India. This argument is further supported by the fact that in Kihoto Hollohan vs Zachillhu (AIR 1993 SC 412) , the "final" decision of the speaker regarding disqualification of members of the House under the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution was held to be a judicial decision subject to judicial review. This suggests that

1472-557: The decision of the Speaker of the House of the People thereon shall be final'. Therefore, one of the prime constitutional questions before the Supreme Court is whether it can review the speaker's certificate classifying a bill as a 'money bill'.

1886-462: The monarch to make sure "that the government conducts itself in compliance with the constitution."
