Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Scenario: Resignation of the Speaker

Mr. Sharma is the Speaker of the Lok Sabha (House of the People). He decides to resign from his position due to personal reasons. According to Article 94(b) of the Constitution of India, Mr. Sharma writes a resignation letter addressed to the Deputy Speaker. In his letter, he clearly states his intention to resign from the office of the Speaker. Once the Deputy Speaker receives and acknowledges the resignation letter, Mr. Sharma's resignation becomes effective, and he vacates his office.

Example 2:

Scenario: Removal of the Deputy Speaker

Ms. Verma is the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha. Some members of the Lok Sabha are dissatisfied with her performance and decide to remove her from office. According to Article 94(c) of the Constitution of India, a resolution for her removal is proposed. The members ensure that at least fourteen days' notice is given before moving the resolution. On the day of the vote, a majority of all the then members of the Lok Sabha vote in favor of the resolution. As a result, Ms. Verma is removed from her office as Deputy Speaker.

Example 3:

Scenario: Speaker vacating office upon ceasing to be a member of the House

Mr. Patel is the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. During the general elections, he loses his seat and ceases to be a member of the Lok Sabha. According to Article 94(a) of the Constitution of India, since Mr. Patel is no longer a member of the House of the People, he automatically vacates his office as Speaker.

Example 4:

Scenario: Speaker continuing in office after dissolution of the House

The Lok Sabha is dissolved for general elections. According to Article 94, the Speaker, Mr. Rao, does not vacate his office immediately. Instead, he continues to hold the office until the first meeting of the newly elected Lok Sabha. This ensures continuity and stability in the functioning of the Parliament during the transition period.
