What happens to a member's seat in the House of the Legislature of a State when they resign?
When a member of a House of the Legislature of a State resigns, their seat becomes vacant. This is stated in clause 3(b) of Article 190: "...or (b) resigns his seat by writing under his hand addressed to the speaker or the Chairman, as the case may be, and his resignation is accepted by the Speaker or the Chairman, as the case may be...". The phrase "his seat shall thereupon become vacant" directly follows this clause, indicating that this is the consequence of a member's resignation.
