The Tripura Legislature Members (Removal of Disqualifications) Act, 1972

The Tripura State Legislature Members (Removal of Disqualifications) Act, 1972 protects members of the Tripura Legislative Assembly from being disqualified for holding specific public positions or offices of profit. Under Article 191 of the Constitution of India, a legislator can lose their seat if they hold a paid government office unless the state legislature passes a law declaring that the office does not cause disqualification. This Act lists specific positions—such as Public Prosecutors, committee chairpersons, Parliamentary Secretaries, and part-time government posts—that elected representatives can hold without forfeiting their seat or facing legal disqualification. For ordinary citizens, this law ensures that elected representatives can serve on developmental boards, legal advisory roles, or defence reserve forces without losing their legislative membership.
