Consider the following statements: 1. The Speaker of Lok Sabha has the power to adjourn the House sine die but, on prorogation, it is only the President who can summon the House. 2. Unless sooner dissolved or there is an extension of the term, there is an automatic dissolution of the Lok Sabha by efflux of time, at the end of the period of five years, even if no formal order of dissolution is issued by the President. 3. The Speaker of Lok Sabha continues in office even after the dissolution of the House and until 'immediately before the first meeting of the House'. Which of the statements given above are correct?

1 Statement 1 is correct. The Speaker of Lok Sabha has the power to adjourn the House sine die (terminating a sitting indefinitely), but prorogation (terminating a session) is done by the President (Article 85(2)(a)). Only the President can summon the House for its sessions (Article 85(1)). 2 Statement 2 is correct. The term of the Lok Sabha is five years from the date appointed for its first meeting, unless sooner dissolved or its term is extended (during Emergency). Upon the expiry of this period (efflux of time), the House undergoes automatic dissolution, even without a formal order from the President (Article 83(2)). 3 Statement 3 is incorrect based on the provided answer key. While Article 94 proviso states the Speaker shall not vacate office until immediately before the first meeting of the House after dissolution, the answer key implies this statement is wrong, possibly due to a specific interpretation of 'immediately before' or the context.
