The Punjab State Legislature (Prevention of Disqualifications) Act, 1952

General19525 sections

This Act specifically clarifies that holding certain public and volunteer roles within the government of Punjab does not automatically disqualify someone from serving as a Member of the State Legislature. It protects individuals holding positions like members of the Territorial Army, Home Guards, Civil Defence, or various official committees from disqualification. By exempting these specific posts, the law ensures that a wider range of public servants and dedicated volunteers can participate in the state democratic process without fear of being barred from holding legislative office.
