Conclusion
The disqualification of Members of Parliament in India is regulated by a strong legal and constitutional structure designed to maintain the integrity of the legislature. Significant judicial actions have bolstered this framework by encouraging prompt accountability.
Nonetheless, ongoing issues such as political bias in disqualification choices and the criminalization of politics highlight the necessity for additional reforms.
Enhancing these measures is vital for preserving public confidence in democratic entities and guaranteeing a transparent and responsible political framework.
