Can a member's seat in Parliament become vacant if they resign from their seat in a State Legislature without prior resignation?
No, a member's seat in Parliament cannot become vacant if they resign from their seat in a State Legislature without prior resignation. This is because Article 101 (2) states that a person cannot be a member of both Parliament and a State Legislature, and if they are chosen as members of both Houses, their seat in one House will become vacant once the specified period has passed, unless they have resigned from the other House beforehand. Therefore, a member must resign from their seat in the State Legislature first before their seat in Parliament can become vacant.
