Former AAP MLA Kartar Singh Tanwar moves Delhi

The Delhi High Court dismissed a petition by former AAP MLA Kartar Singh Tanwar challenging his disqualification from the Delhi Legislative Assembly. Tanwar was disqualified under the anti-defection law after he joined the BJP. The court upheld the Speaker’s decision, stating that it was in accordance with the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, which aims to prevent political defections. Tanwar argued that his disqualification was politically motivated, but the court found no merit in his claims. The ruling reinforces the anti-defection law’s objective to maintain political stability and prevent elected representatives from switching parties for personal gain.
