Abstract
The Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, 2025,
provides for the removal of the Minister which shall be applicable in the
following scenarios. Firstly, if the Minister is charged with any offence that
punishes anyone with five or more years of imprisonment, and secondly, if the
Minister is arrested and kept in detention for 30 consecutive days. The removal
can be effected either by the President or the Governor, as advised by the
Prime Minister or the Chief Minister, respectively, or be done automatically after
the 31st day of detention. The Prime Minister or the Chief Minister has to
resign on being detained for 30 days continuously, failing which, he shall
cease to hold the office from the day following. This paper analyses the key
issues of the Bill and makes suggestions to overcome the issues.
