Congress leader Rahul Gandhi set the tone of the Opposition’s aggressive stance as he submitted a notice of an adjournment motion seeking the dismissal of Mr. Mishra

·        It is introduced within the Parliament to draw attention of the House to a defined matter of emergency public importance, and desires the support of fifty members to be admitted.

·        As it interrupts the common business of the House, its considered an extraordinary device.

·        It involves a part of censure against the govt. and therefore Rajya Sabha isnt permissible to create use of this

·        The discussion on an adjournment motion should last for not less than 2 hours and thirty minutes.

·        The right to move a motion for an adjournment of the business of the home is subject to the subsequent restrictions: It ought to raise a matter that is definite, factual, emergency and of public importance; It mustnt cover more than one matter; It ought to be restricted to a specific matter of recent occurrence and will not be framed generally terms; It mustnt raise a queries of privilege; It mustnt revive discussion on a matter that has been discussed within the same session; It shouldnt deal with any matter thats under adjudication by court; and It mustnt raise any question that may be raised on a distinct motion.
