Hi@farejul sir,
In test 2, there was a question on Anti defection (Q53).
Question:
Q.53) With regard to disqualification of members
of Parliament, which of the following statements
is/are correct?
1. The question regarding the disqualification of
member of Parliament in all matters except
defection is decided by the President.
2. The Presiding Officer has to decide on a
disqualification plea within 3 months in case
of defection.
3. In case of defection, the courts can intervene
before the decision is taken by the Presiding
Officer.
Select the correct answer using the code given
below:
a) 1 only
b) 1 and 2 only
c) 3 only
d) 1 and 3 only
Answer provided is 1 only. However, with recent HC judgement on Manipur, statement 2 and 3 are also correct I feel. Can you please rectify.
