MPs not allowed to have profitable government positions...
MPs and assembly members under Article 191(1)(a) are not permitted to take any position that offers compensation, benefits, or any government assistance under Article 102(1)(a) of the Constitution. Put simply, any member of parliament who has another position where they get government benefits may be disqualified under Article 102 of the Constitution. In such a case, a person's membership is not revoked just because he is not legally disqualified from holding that position. Under this provision, then-President Ramnath Kovind disqualified 20 aam aadmi party MLAs in delhi in january 2018 upon the election Commission's recommendation.
Members must give notice before attending the House.
A member of parliament loses their seat if they miss more than 60 days of meetings without getting permission. If our understanding is correct, his membership in the parliament is revoked in such a circumstance. Article 101 of the Constitution states that days when the session has finished or has been adjourned for longer than four days are not counted toward the allotted sixty days.
A member of parliament ought to be imprisoned
The Representation of the people Act further states that a member of parliament's sentence is void even if it consists of two years or more of jail time for any reason. But in this case, if the higher court delays the decision to convict a member of parliament, the decision to remove him from office is likewise suspended. This year, a comparable case was observed. upon the reinstatement of rahul Gandhi's membership. Actually, on august 4, the supreme court stayed rahul Gandhi's conviction in the "Modi surname" criminal defamation case. rahul Gandhi's lok sabha membership was restored on august 7th by the lok sabha secretariat following the supreme Court's ruling in the case.
