- Question 6 of 7
6. Question
1 pointsCategory: polityDisqualification on ground of defection does not apply in cases of
- Political party mergers
- Political party splits
- A candidate quitting political party
Choose the correct answer from the codes below:
Correct
The grounds for disqualification under the Anti-Defection Laws are as follows.
(a) If an elected member voluntarily gives up his membership of a political party;
(b)If he votes or abstains from voting in such House contrary to any direction issued by his political party or anyone authorised to do so, without obtaining prior permission.
As a pre-condition for his disqualification, his abstention from voting should not be condoned by his party or the authorised person within 15 days of such incident. Finally the 91st Constitutional Amendment Act, 2003, changed this. So now at least two-thirds of the members of a party have to be in favour of a “merger” for it to have validity in the eyes of the law. “The merger of the original political party or a member of a House shall be deemed to have taken place if, and only if, not less than two thirds of the members of the legislature party concerned have agreed to such merger,” states the Tenth Schedule.
