Disqualification Of Member Of Parliaments
News: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, was recently removed from the Lok Sabha.
The Constitution’s Article 102 contains the disqualification rule.
Under certain circumstances, a person is prohibited from running for office and serving as a member of parliament, according to the law:
If he holds any paid positions with the federal or state governments, (except that of a minister or any other office exempted by Parliament).
if a judge has determined that he is mentally incompetent.
Whether he is an unsolved insolvent.
If he is not an Indian citizen, has chosen to become a citizen of another country, or has pledged loyalty to another country.
if he is otherwise ineligible under a Parliament-made law.
Article 102 also authorises Parliament to create laws determining criteria of disqualifications.
State legislators also fall under similar protections.
