Defection case: Lok Sabha Secretariat issues notices to 20 rebel TMC MPs
The Lok Sabha Secretariat issued disqualification notices to 20 rebel TMC MPs under the anti-defection law (Tenth Schedule), coinciding with the Supreme Court agreeing to hear TMC's plea for expedited adjudication. The TMC alleged the Speaker had delayed action despite earlier claims by the Solicitor General that notices were already served. This highlights the constitutional tension between legislative autonomy and judicial oversight in defection cases, a recurring theme in polity questions for competitive exams.
