Article 86 of CoI : Article 86: Right Of The President To Address And Send Messages To Houses

Explanation using Example

Imagine the President of India wants to address the nation's economic challenges and the government's proposed solutions. The President decides to address a joint session of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Invoking Article 86(1), the President calls for the attendance of all members of Parliament to hear the address, which outlines the government's plans and seeks their cooperation.

In another scenario, while the Parliament is in session, a crucial bill related to national security is pending. The President has suggestions for amendments to the bill that could enhance its effectiveness. Using Article 86(2), the President sends a message to the Lok Sabha, where the bill is currently pending, to consider the suggested amendments. The Lok Sabha, upon receiving the message, expedites the discussion of the President's suggestions.
