Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@sat_009yes added lily Thomas too because it also led to change in provisions of disqualification only.

@chaitanya0458u cant say how mch u wl be marked... i wrote sikkim cm example recent in one and parliamentary secreatary example of delhi case which is ground fr disqualification under rp 1951 as well ofice of profit..cnt recollect had i written section numbers

@ranyo_asokayes, marking is difficult to predict, this is just a guess for self satisfaction

@ranyo_asokayr parliamentary secy vaala to i think office of profit ka case hai na joki constitution me hai ; is there any provision for it in RPA as well ?

@ranyo_asokaoffice of profit is under constitutional provision...I think

I wrote the example of Madhya Pradesh legislator who got disqualified bcuz of not showing correct expenditure...read it somewhere in hindu in 2017

@TeddyWestsidethats wat newspapers had... its disqualification under both 102 and RPA

Janta (including me) ne kaafi hawaabaazi ki hai iss question mein, aisa prateet ho raha hai. And won't blame them, it is difficult to remember such pointed stuff.

@TeddyWestsideoffice of profit is under rpa too, dont forget sonia gandhi case

@Yes_I_am_inhaan dono me hai.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thehindu.com/news/national/the-hindu-explains-office-of-profit/article22480152.ece/amp/. Why should an MLA or an MP not hold an office of profit?

According to Articles 102(1)(a) and 191(1)(a) of the Constitution, an MP or MLA is barred from holding an office of profit as it can put them in a position to gain a financial benefit. "A person shall be disqualified for being chosen as, and for being, a member of either House of Parliament, (a) if he holds any office of profit under the Government of India or the Government of any State, other than an office declared by Parliament by law not to disqualify its holder," says the law.

Under the Representation of People Act too, holding an office of profit is grounds for disqualification.

@sat_009bhai section 9 office of profit nahi hai; vo hai ki kisi ne govt office hold kia ho aur corruption kia ho unke lie
