Solution
Adjourn the session for an indefinite period.
Explanation:
“Adjournment sine die” means terminating a sitting of Parliament without naming a specific day or time for reassembly. The phrase “sine die” literally translates from Latin to “without a day.” This power rests with the presiding officer of the House (the Speaker in Lok Sabha or the Chairman in Rajya Sabha) when a parliamentary session concludes its planned business.
