Question

Answer in brief.

When can point of order be raised?

Answer in Brief

Solution

A point of order is a question raised by a member regarding some point considered to be irregular in the conduct of the meeting. Point of order is raised to draw attention of the Chairman to some irregularity in the procedure or conduct of the meeting. Every member attending the meeting has a right to raise a point of order at any time during the meeting.

The usual occasion for raising a point of order are:

  1. absence of quorum
  2. Breach of certain rules governing the conduct of the meeting
  3. Misbehavior of a member
  4. use of improper language and bad remarks of some speakers.

When a point of order is raised, the person addressing the meeting has to stop his speech for some time and the Chairman has to give his ruling or decision which is final and binding on the members.
