The lifelong ban on politicians who were condemned in criminal matters to continue? Which center said SC

On Wednesday, the center refused a complaint founded at the Supreme Court, in which convicted politicians were imposed on a life ban and argued that such a disqualification was only in the area of ​​parliament.

The center continued to say in an affidavit that was submitted in court that prayer in the lawsuit against the law was rewritten or the parliament proved to design the legislation in a certain way that went completely beyond the powers of judicial review , reported PTI.

“The question of whether a lifelong ban would be appropriate or not is a question that is only in the area of ​​parliament,” said the affidavit.

It also added that the limitation of the punishment to a reasonable period of time was ensured, while inappropriate hardness was avoided.

The center argued that the limitation of the effects of punishments after time was naturally unconstitutional, and it was a defined legal principle that the punishments were limited either after time or by restriction.

“It is granted that the problems mentioned by the petent have far -reaching effects and clearly fall into the legislative directive of the parliament and the contours of judicial review are changed appropriately in this regard,” said the affidavit.

The plea submitted by Advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay requested a life ban convicted, apart from the rapid sale of criminal matters against MPs and Mlas in the country.

In the meantime, the center pointed out that the Supreme Court had consistently decided that the legislative election about one or the other option could not be asked about courts because of its effectiveness or in any other way.

After representing the People Act from 1951, Section 8 (1), the disqualification period was six years from the date of conviction or in the case of detention, six years from the date of publication, it added.
