Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha's resolution expelling the appellant, a former Chief Minister, based on allegations of misconduct related to land acquisition under Section 36 of the Punjab Land Improvement Act, 1922. The Court held that the expulsion was valid as it was based on a report from a Special Committee that investigated the appellant's actions during his previous term. The Court emphasized the importance of accountability for public officials and upheld the resolution, affirming the authority of the Vidhan Sabha to take such actions.
