Inhaltsangabe

This work critiques the Anti-Defection Law (Tenth Schedule) of India on the grounds that it romanticizes political defections on a mass scale, and is oppressive to the right to express democratic opposition. The crux of the matter is the so-called adjudicatory vacuum that is formed by the authority of partisan Speakers. Politicians use this as a weapon of indefinite deferrals, the Nabam Rebia deadlock, and resort to politics to overthrow governments with impunity. India, in comparison with the UK, US, and Singaporean models, has a hybrid framework that is structurally obsolete. The research opposes patchwork reforms in favor of a radical Constitutional Reset through the "Singhvi Doctrine." This suggests an automatic, self-implementing seat vacation of defectors, eliminating all Speaker discretion. More importantly, it requires a desperate Quality of Defectors to any ministerial or paid office throughout the rest of the legislature, which will forever annihilate the economic motive of political infidelity.
