Both statements are correct. Statement 1 is accurate because prorogation (the ending of a session of parliament without dissolving it) does not affect the bills pending in the legislature of a state; they remain pending and can be taken up in the next session. Statement 2 is correct because the dissolution of the Legislative Assembly does not impact the status of a bill pending in the Legislative Council, even if it has not been passed by the Assembly.
