Example 1:
Scenario: Removal of the Vice-President
The Rajya Sabha (Council of States) is holding a session to discuss a resolution for the removal of the Vice-President of India. According to Article 92, the Vice-President, who is also the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, cannot preside over this session. Instead, another member, typically the Deputy Chairman or another designated member, will preside over the session. The Vice-President, although present, will not sit in the Chairman's seat. He can participate in the debate and express his views but is not allowed to vote on the resolution or any other matter during this session.
Example: Suppose there are allegations of misconduct against the Vice-President, and a resolution for his removal is introduced in the Rajya Sabha. During the debate, the Vice-President can defend himself and present his case, but he cannot preside over the session or vote on the resolution. The Deputy Chairman or another senior member will take over the role of presiding officer for this session.
Example 2:
Scenario: Removal of the Deputy Chairman
The Rajya Sabha is considering a resolution to remove the Deputy Chairman from office. According to Article 92, the Deputy Chairman cannot preside over the session where his removal is being discussed. Instead, another member, typically a senior member of the Rajya Sabha, will preside over the session. The Deputy Chairman can be present and participate in the debate but cannot vote on the resolution or any other matter during this session.
Example: Imagine there are accusations of partiality against the Deputy Chairman, and a resolution for his removal is brought before the Rajya Sabha. During the session, the Deputy Chairman can present his defense and participate in the discussion, but he cannot preside over the session or cast a vote. Another senior member will take over the role of presiding officer for this session.
