The anti-defection lawExample of GST
Presidential election
Theanti-defection law waspassedbyparliamentin1985. (duringtenureofRajivGandhi)
The52ndamendmenttotheConstitutionaddedtheTenthSchedule whichlaiddowntheprocessbywhichlegislatorsmaybedisqualifiedongroundsofdefection.Amemberofparliamentorstatelegislaturewasdeemedtohavedefectedifheeithervoluntarilyresignedfromhispartyordisobeyedthedirectivesofthepartyleadershiponavote.Thatis,theymaynotvoteonanyissueincontraventiontotheparty’swhip. Independentmembers
wouldbedisqualifiediftheyjoinedapoliticalparty.
Earlier,10thschedulewasrelatedtoassociationofSikkimwithIndia.Once,Sikkimbecamefullfledgedstate,thisschedulewasrepealedviathe 36th

PresidentialElection,2017– Righttovoteornottovote– Clarification
CertaindoubtshaveariseninthemindsofsomeoftheelectorsatthecurrentPresidentialElection,2017totheeffectwhetheramemberofapoliticalparty

ConstitutionofIndiaorthepoliticalpartytakingsuchdecisionwouldbeliabletoanypenaltyforaskingtheirmemberstovoteinaparticularmannerornot

“TheCommissionwouldliketoclarifyinthiscontextthatthevotingatelectiontotheOfficeofPresidentofIndiaisnotcompulsory,likethevotingatelectionstotheHouseofthePeopleandStateLegislatureswherealso
thereisnocompulsiontovote.
The‘electoralright’ofavoterisdefinedinsection171A(b)oftheIndianPenalcodeto‘meantherightofapersontostand,ornottostandas,orto
withdrawfrombeing,acandidateor tovoteorrefrainfromvotingatelection’.
Thus,everyelectoratthePresidentialelectionhasthefreedomofmakingachoicetovoteforanyofthecandidatesornottovoteattheelection,asper
hisfreewillandchoice.
Thiswillequallyapplytothepoliticalpartiesandtheyarefreetocanvasorseekvotesofelectorsforanycandidateorrequestingorappealingtothem

However,thepoliticalpartiescannotissueanydirectionorwhiptotheirmemberstovoteinaparticularmannerornottovoteattheelectionleavingthemwithnochoice,asthatwouldtantamounttotheoffenceofundue

In2006,theapexcourtintheKuldip Nayar caseupheld the open ballot systemfortheRS elections anddistinguisheditfromtheelectionstothe
postsofPresidentandVice-President.
In India, OpenBallotSystem usesforelectionofUpperHouse(Rajya Sabha)members.Here,PoliticalPartiesnominatemembers
