Q6967. Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): An MLA from Rajasthan disqualified under the Tenth Schedule (Anti-defection law) appeals directly to the Governor for the final verdict. Reason (R): The Speaker of the Legislative Assembly is the designated authority to decide on questions of disqualification under the Tenth Schedule.
Explanation
Under the Tenth Schedule, the authority to decide on disqualification due to defection lies with the Speaker of the Assembly, not the Governor. Therefore, an MLA would not appeal to the Governor for a verdict. The Speaker’s role as the adjudicating officer is a fundamental feature of the anti-defection law, designed to maintain party discipline within the legislative chamber.
