How does the Constitution (Forty-fourth Amendment) Act, 1978, impact the disqualification rules for holding an office of profit?
The Constitution (Forty-fourth Amendment) Act, 1978, impacted the disqualification rules for holding an office of profit by omitting the amendment made by the Constitution (Forty-second Amendment) Act, 1976. This omission removed the requirement that a person must hold a specific type of office of profit under the Government of India or the Government of any State specified in the First Schedule to be disqualified.
