Article 96 of CoI : Article 96: The Speaker Or Deputy Speaker Is Not To Preside While A Resolution For Their Removal From Office Is Under Consideration

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where members of the Lok Sabha have moved a resolution to remove the current Speaker due to alleged partiality. According to Article 96 of the Indian Constitution, during the Lok Sabha session where this resolution is being discussed, the Speaker would not preside over the meeting. Instead, as per Article 95(2), another member would take on the role of presiding officer for that session.

Furthermore, the Speaker retains the right to participate in the proceedings and defend themselves during the discussion of the resolution. They can speak on the matter and vote on the resolution or any other business during the session. However, if there is a tie in votes (equality of votes), the Speaker cannot vote again to break the tie, which is an exception to their usual casting vote privilege as per Article 100.
