DISQUALIFICATION ) ACT, 1974

The Haryana State Legislature (Prevention of Disqualification) Act, 1974

General19744 sections

This Act amends the Haryana State Legislature (Prevention of Disqualification) Act, 1974, preventing political corruption by listing specific government roles that do not disqualify anyone from becoming a Member of the Legislative Assembly. These roles range from local officials like Lambardar and government secretaries to military reservists, ministers, and legal advisors. By labeling these positions as not creating a conflict of interest, the law allows sincere candidates and working officials to contest elections without fear of automatic disqualification. Furthermore, it repeals an outdated earlier act related to Punjab to clarify these rules for the state.
