What is the jurisdiction of courts in matters related to disqualification under the Tenth Schedule?
As per the original Tenth Schedule, no court shall have any jurisdiction in respect of any matter connected with the disqualification of a member of a House under the Tenth Schedule. However, in the case of Kihoto Hollohon Vs. Zachilhu and others (1992), the Supreme Court of India declared Paragraph 7 of the Tenth Schedule, which barred the jurisdiction of courts, invalid for want of ratification in accordance with the proviso to clause (2) of Article 368. This means that the courts can now review matters related to disqualification under the Tenth Schedule, subject to certain limitations.
