Shortest Session of State Legislative Assembly

The shortest session of any legislative assembly in India took place in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly on 14 August 1972. Here are the details:

The session lasted only one minute, from 11:00 a.m. to 11:01 a.m. It holds the record for the shortest session in the history of legislative assemblies in India.

The session was called only for the purpose of passing a vote of confidence for the then Chief Minister, Morarji Desai, who was seeking support following the political turmoil in the state.

The session was marked by its unprecedented brevity, as the matter at hand was decided in a matter of seconds, with no discussions or debates, and only a formal acknowledgment of the confidence vote.

This unusual and record-setting session was a result of the political crisis and maneuvering in Rajasthan at that time.
