New Delhi: The disappointment of Apex participants with a political class who failed to implement several basic electoral reforms deeper from requests to ask the parties to submit the name of the leaders with criminal antecedents on their website in 48 hours of choice for elections.
In 2014, when the Indian Law Commission held a meeting of political parties on electoral reform, wholesales including AAM AADMI (AAP), BJP and Congress were not present.
This caused the chairman of the legal panel then justice AP Shah vent frustrated say that the political class was not serious about the election reform.
Since that day, a set of reform has been suggested by the legal panel and is often reminded by the Election Commission and the Supreme Court, to implement it, but nothing is done for “lack of political consensus”.
This includes a proposal to disqualify chargesheet politicians from fighting elections.
The famous lawyer of Kapil Sibal, Minister of Law during the 2014 UPA Regulation, has initiated and compiled a law that allowed to disqualify all politicians, regardless of their affiliates, if the allegations were framed against them in court, especially in the crime of a seven-year or more crunches.
To get rid of criminal elements of the legislature, the UPA government has prepared the draft Bill-Representative (RP) Act (Amandment) Bill.
Before the change in government in 2014, consultation with the election commission was held.
Consultation with political parties is waiting before being submitted in parliament.
However, in the past seven years the Government of Narendra Modi, meeting all parties will never be scheduled.
The draft bill provided for the disqualification of candidates for up to 13 years from the selection of fighting if chargesheeted in cruel crime.
The modi government at that time was busier by driving tax bills and services on the agenda.
Draft Rp ACT ACT Amandment Bill also prescribed disqualifying selected representatives from parliamentary or legislative members of the state if he was found to have submitted fake affidavit.
Recently in May this year, the electoral commission once again reminded the government to take all the delayed election reforms to bring more accountability to the fighting election candidates.
Want the government to pass an enabling law in which a false written statement delivered by candidates given for a minimum prison period of two years, and thus disqualified to fight for the election for the next six years.
The Apex Court is currently exploring whether the issue of election reform is referred to a seven greater constitutional bench, in a way that binds the government to bring legislative amendments that are widely delayed in the law of Rp.
SC has a way back in 2014 asking the Law Commission to give his opinion about whether politicians to whom the allegations have been framed by the court for serious violations such as rape, murder, etc., must be disqualified from the fighting selection.
The panel has greatly supported disqualification but SC instead suggested trial tracking fast parliamentary members who faced serious charges.
Should MPS / MLAAS Chargesheet prohibited from the fighting selection?
