What is the role of the Chairman or Speaker in making rules for the Tenth Schedule?
The Chairman or Speaker of a House is empowered to make rules for giving effect to the provisions of the Tenth Schedule. These rules may include provisions for maintaining registers or records of political party affiliations, reporting requirements for party leaders and political parties, and procedures for deciding questions of disqualification, including inquiries that may be made for this purpose. The rules made by the Chairman or Speaker must be laid before the House for a total period of thirty days, which may be comprised of one or more sessions, and take effect upon the expiry of this period unless they are approved, modified, or disapproved by the House before then.
