If it is not combated, it is likely to undermine the very foundations of our democracy and the principles which sustain it.

This Bill is meant for outlawing defection and fulfilling the above assurance.'[Statement of Objects and Reasons for introducing the Tenth Schedule in the Constitution by the Constitution (Fifty-second Amendment) Act, 1985].2.

People have grown distrustful of the emotive political exultations that such floor-crossings belong to the sacred area of freedom of conscience, or of the right to dissent or of intellectual freedom. The anti-defection law seeks to recognise the practical need to place the proprieties of political and per...
