Law Combating Political Defections

Democracy is of paramount importance for the well-being of the institution of Parliament as well as the country and the society. For the integration of the country and to carry forward the independence left to us by the martyrs of the freedom struggle it is necessary that the system of Parliamentary democracy in the country functions in a very objective, constructive, positive and productive manner. Unfortunately, the democratic form of government was shaken after the 4 th general election held in 1967 and thereafter the trend of defection started in India. The Book “Law Combating Political Defections” provides well organized, comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of all the aspects of anti-defection law in India. This book throws a light on the concept of state, democratic form of government, historical background along with critically analyzed Tenth Schedule of the Constitution. Besides this, book also thoroughly discussed the Role of Speaker and the attitude of Judiciary towards political defections in India. Relevant data regarding defection laws in other nations are also discussed in the manuscript. This textbook is an attempt to cover all the complex aspects of the anti-detection law in India.
