Explanation
The Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India, popularly known as the Anti-Defection Law, contains provisions regarding the disqualification of members of Parliament and State Legislatures on the grounds of defection. It was inserted by the 52nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1985, to prevent political defections motivated by the lure of office or similar considerations.
- Ninth Schedule: Deals with the validation of certain Acts and Regulations (originally focused on land reforms) to protect them from judicial review.
- Eleventh Schedule: Specifies the powers, authority, and responsibilities of Panchayats, added by the 73rd Amendment Act, 1992.
- Sixth Schedule: Contains provisions for the administration of tribal areas in the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram.
The Tenth Schedule empowers the Presiding Officer (Speaker/Chairman) of the House to decide on disqualification cases arising from defection.
