Question:
A person nominated to the Lok Sabha by the President joins a political party five months after taking the seat. Under the Tenth Schedule, the consequence is: / राष्ट्रपति द्वारा लोक सभा में मनोनीत एक सदस्य सीट ग्रहण करने के पाँच माह बाद एक राजनीतिक दल में शामिल होता है। दसवीं अनुसूची के तहत परिणाम क्या होगा?
Correct Answer: No disqualification, since a nominated member may join a party within six months of taking the seat
Correct — paragraph 2(3) of the Tenth Schedule disqualifies a nominated member only if they join a party after the expiry of six months from taking the seat; joining within six months is expressly permitted. Distractor (b) states the rule for the post-six-month period and wrongly extends it to the protected window. / सही उत्तर — दसवीं अनुसूची के पैरा 2(3) के तहत मनोनीत सदस्य तभी अयोग्य होता है जब सीट ग्रहण के छह माह बाद दल में शामिल हो; छह माह के भीतर शामिल होना स्पष्टतः अनुमत है। विकल्प (b) छह माह बाद की स्थिति का नियम है।
