Anti-Defection Law In India: A Critique Of Anti- Defection Legislation




Suhani Das, Sebantika Maity & Shrestha Chakraborty, BBA LLB, KIIT School of Law

ABSTRACT

“The intention of the Anti-Defection Law was to reduce political defections, but owing to escalating political corruption and dishonesty, this law was never effectively developed. Today, the issue is whether or not this law's objectives can actually be realised.”

“Politicians exploited this law's weaknesses for personal gain. It is past time to provide our Parliament a watchdog, and our constitutional experts should examine the subject in order to confront the corruption and defection threat that has weakened democratic ideals. Thus, this article will aim on the different grounds of anti-defection law.”
