Explanation
Joint sittings under Article 118 have been held only three times: on the Dowry Prohibition Bill (1961, for the 1959 Bill), the Banking Service Commission (Repeal) Bill (1978), and the Prevention of Terrorism Bill (2002). The Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 was passed without any joint sitting. Hence 1, 2 and 3 only.
