Explained | What is the Anti-defection Law?

The anti-defection law was passed in 1985 through the 52nd Amendment to the Constitution. The law that was contained in the 10th Schedule of the Constitution came into effect on March 1, 1985. It was formulated to bring stability to the Indian political system, which has a long history of political defections.
Even though the law has been able to curb the evil of defections to a great extent, the recent incidents in the Indian political scene underline the need for a review in order to tighten all the loopholes.

One loophole in this law could be the partisan politics of the speaker. They often misuse their power for the disqualification of a member. We need to establish an independent tribunal to finalize the disqualification procedure.

Some confusion here for me... Upto the latest amendent of the law will it give immunity to the legislators who jump party's in one third of the numbers eg.. If the partyA has 90 legislators 30 from partyA jumped to partyB will they enjoy the immunity from the law in this case or will they face actions behalf of the law? Please clarify

I misread the title as anti- defecation law and thought that it is about open defecation. 😄

[Shubham]

One doubt..for how many terms he will be disqualified??

[virujth]

May the government also make Anti Public-Defecation Law for our Indians. Perhaps, it exists already? Hence, make it strict Rule.

Hindu be like, , , kuch bhi bana deta hu...kisi ko kya hi pata chalega...


1/3rd is called split and 2/3rd is called merger... 52nd amendment allowed both... I.e., either in case of split or merger, , anti defection wont apply....
91st amendment act simply removed split provision... So it means, , , now only merger i.e, 2/3rd is allowed.
