1. Which state's assembly passed a bill ending pensions for disqualified MLAs under the anti-defection law?
The Himachal Pradesh Assembly passed the Legislative Assembly (Allowances and Pension of Members) Amendment Bill 2024, which prevents MLAs disqualified under the anti-defection law from receiving pensions. This legislation was introduced by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and aims to ensure that MLAs disqualified under the Tenth Schedule no longer benefit from pensions, including provisions for recovering pensions already drawn. This measure reflects a commitment to uphold the integrity of the legislative process.
