When does the arrangement of implementing policy through an ordinance come into discussion?

Correct answer: When Parliament is not in session and urgent law-like action is needed

Direct answer: A. An ordinance is considered when Parliament is not in session and immediate legal action is considered necessary. The basic sequence is important: an urgent situation may arise; Parliament may not be meeting; the President may promulgate an ordinance on the advice of the Union Council of Ministers; and the measure must be placed before Parliament when it reassembles. An ordinance is therefore a temporary law-like measure, not a permanent substitute for Parliament. Option A correctly states both essential ideas: Parliament is not in session and urgent action is needed. Option B is wrong because counting votes is an electoral function and does not create an ordinance. Option C is wrong because courts do not conduct political campaigns. Option D is wrong because writing the Constitution is not the role of the opposition in this situation. Memory cue: ordinance means temporary action during Parliament’s recess, subject to parliamentary control.
