Explanation:

Bills introduced in the Parliament are of two kinds: public bills and private bills (also known as government bills and private members’ bills respectively). Though both are governed by the same general procedure and pass through the same stages in the House, they differ in various respects.

2. It reflects of the policies of the government (ruling party).
3. It has greater chance to be approved by the Parliament.
4. Its rejection by the House amounts to the exp-ression of want of parliamentary confidence in the government and may lead to its resignation.

Private Bill

1. It is introduced by any member of Parliament other than a minister.

2. It reflects the stand of opposition party on public matter.
