Explanation:

Explanation: The power to summon a House of Parliament to meet is formally vested in the President [Art. 85(1)]. A notification convening a House is issued under the President's signature in the Official Gazette and summons to individual members are issued by its Secretary. Each House is to meet in such a way that six months do not intervene between its last sitting in one session and its first sitting in the next session [ Art. 85(1)]. This means that Parliament must meet at least twice a year. However, the period of six months does not apply in the event of premature dissolution of the Lok Sabha.
