Keisham Meghachandra Singh vs The Honble Speaker Manipur Legislative ...

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of paragraph 2(1)(a) of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India concerning disqualification of a member of the Legislative Assembly. The Court held that a member who defects from their political party after being elected is liable for disqualification under the Tenth Schedule, reinforcing the legal principle that disqualification is automatic upon defection. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the appellant, directing the Speaker to decide on the disqualification petitions expeditiously.
