Why did the Centre assert that imposing life bans on convicted lawmakers is Parliament's prerogative
Understand the Center's perspective on the authority to impose life bans on convicted lawmakers.
- Parliament has the authority to make laws and rules governing the eligibility of lawmakers.
- The Centre believes that the imposition of life bans on convicted lawmakers falls within the purview of Parliament as it pertains to the qualification and disqualification criteria.
- The decision to disqualify a lawmaker for a certain period or for life has far-reaching implications and must be determined by the legislative body.
- Granting Parliament the prerogative to impose such bans ensures that the process is transparent and aligns with democratic principles.
- By allowing Parliament to determine the eligibility criteria, it upholds the principle of separation of powers between the legislative and judiciary branches.
