The Nagaland State Legislature Members’ (Removal of Disqualifications) Act, 1964

This Act removes legal barriers that previously kept people holding certain government positions from becoming members of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly. It specifically states that those in offices such as tribal council members, government teachers, or part-time officials are no longer disqualified from contesting elections or serving. It applies to anyone holding the offices listed in the schedule, including roles in the Territorial Army or as government pleaders. This change ensures that citizens with valuable community service experience or part-time public roles can legally serve in the state legislature without needing to resign or give up those other responsibilities first.
