PIL- Stop contesting from multiple seats for MLA/MP
We all know the various ill-effects we have to face due to the same person getting elected from more than one place for Parliament and the State Assemblies. It involves a huge lot of money, time and energy and also results in vacation of seat unnecessarily.
A PIL has been filed in the Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench, by me and wife Nutan praying for complete ban on any persons contesting from more than one seat in the elections for Parliament and the State Assemblies.
The PIL says that Section 33(7) of the Representation of Peoples Act 1951 permits a person to contest from two places in these elections. Before 1996, a person could contest from any number of seats.
As per the petitioners, this permission to contest and win in the same legislative body from two places is against the various constitutional provisions including Article 101 and 190 related with vacancies of seats in these legislative bodies because these Articles provide specific methods of vacation of seats, which does not include vacation of seats for being elected at two places in the same house, hence praying for declaring such multiple contests as ultra-vires to the Constitution.
