The debate over whether Raghav Chadha and other AAP MPs moving to the Bharatiya Janata Party amounts to defection or a merger raises key constitutional issues under the Tenth Schedule, requiring careful legal analysis by courts and scholars.
Today, On 12th February, The Delhi High Court refused to hear a petition by Justice SN Dhingra against election freebies. The court suggested that he approach the Supreme Court, as a similar case is already pending there. Justice Dhingra had challenged the distribution of freebies by political parties during elections. The decision directs the matter to the highest court for further consideration.
