FPJ Explains: Why is Sachin Pilot in court?

Sachin Pilot and his group are challenging the Speaker’s notice to disqualify them from the Rajasthan Assembly. They have ostensibly been disqualified under the ‘Anti-Defection Law’, given they have not violated a party whip.

The Tenth Schedule states that a Presiding Officer can disqualify a member who has voluntarily given up the membership of his party or disobeyed the party leadership. One can lose one’s membership of the House, and it applies to both Parliament and State Assemblies.

But here’s when it gets interested, the 10th Schedule is for parliament and assemblies. As Constitutional Expert Rakesh Dwivedi noted, ‘protesting against the CM wasn’t same as leaving the party’, calling it ‘patently illegal’
