Ruling parties need to close the window of opportunity soon, often using the threat of disqualification for <strong>defection (the desertion of one\u2019s political party in favor of an opposing one)<\/strong>. It is in this backdrop that judicial intervention in matters relating to disqualifying lawmakers for defection takes place \u2014 either buying the dissidents time or allowing disqualification proceedings to go on <strong>unhindered (Not slowed, blocked or interfered with)<\/strong>. By its order granting time until July 12 to dissident Shiv Sena legislators in the Maharashtra Assembly to reply to the Deputy Speaker\u2019s notice under the anti-defection law, the Supreme Court has effectively made it possible for them to <strong>actualise (Make real) <\/strong>their objective without the threat of disqualification for now. It is doubtful whether the Court should have done this in the face of a specific bar on judicial intervention in disqualification proceedings at any stage prior to final <strong>adjudication (The final judgment in a legal proceeding) <\/strong>under the Tenth Schedule. In 1992 ( Kihoto Hollohan vs Zachillhu), a Constitution Bench, while upholding the validity of the anti-defection law, held that the Speaker\u2019s decision was subject to judicial review, <strong>albeit (Even though) <\/strong>on limited grounds. It also made it clear that this should take place after a final decision, and there can be no interim order, except if there is an interim disqualification or suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deputy Speaker\u2019s grant of just two days for the MLAs to reply may have <strong>occasioned (cause) <\/strong>the intervention; but it is doubtful whether the Court should concern itself with the question now, when it can be decided after their possible disqualification. There are Court judgments that say <strong>compliance (Acting according to certain accepted standards) <\/strong>with natural justice is not based on the number of days given, but on whether sufficient opportunity was given before a decision. Based on a conclusion in Nabam Rebia (2016) that a Presiding Officer should not adjudicate any defection complaint while a motion for his own removal is pending, the dissidents sent a motion to get the Deputy Speaker removed. After he rejected it, the rejection has also been questioned in court, thus raising a jurisdiction question on the adjudicatory power of the Deputy Speaker, who, of necessity, has to decide disqualification questions in the absence of a Speaker. Motions to remove a Presiding Officer should not become a <strong>ploy (A tactic or manoeuvre intended to gain an advantage) <\/strong>to circumvent disqualification proceedings. If courts <strong>countenance (give permission) <\/strong>manoeuvres to pre-empt a decision on whether legislators camping in another State and questioning the Chief Minister\u2019s majority have incurred disqualification by \u201cvoluntarily giving up membership\u201d of their party, they undermine the anti-defection law and <strong>render (announce) nugatory (Of no real value) <\/strong>rulings by Constitution Benches. When defection is seen as a serious <strong>menace (Something that is a source of danger) <\/strong>by the Constitution, courts should not act in furtherance of it. The duty to protect those wrongly disqualified is important, but so is calling to account defectors whose motives are suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?
