Bare Act

The National Capital Territory of Delhi, Members of Legislative Assembly (Removal of Disqualification) Act, 1997

This law regulates the qualifications of members of the Legislative Assembly in Delhi by preventing their disqualification for holding certain public offices. It applies to Delhi lawmakers and legislative candidates. The Act matters because constitutional rules normally prohibit legislators from holding paid government positions to prevent conflicts of interest. By exempting specific roles, like heading development boards or legislative committees, and restricting earnings to basic compensatory allowances, this law permits elected representatives to serve in vital state bodies and implement local welfare schemes without losing their seats in the assembly, thereby ensuring that state governance remains both efficient and representative.
