Which Constitutional Amendment Bill, introduced in the Lok Sabha in 2025, seeks to provide for the removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Minister, or any Minister who remains in custody for 30 consecutive days for a serious criminal offence?
The Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025
The correct answer is The Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025.
This Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in August 2025. It provides that a Prime Minister, Chief Minister or any Minister who is arrested and remains in custody for 30 consecutive days on a serious criminal charge (one punishable with five years or more) must be removed from office on the 31st day if not released.
The 128th Amendment Bill is wrong here because that number is associated with the Women's Reservation context discussions, not this removal-on-custody proposal.
The 129th Amendment Bill is wrong as that designation does not correspond to this custody-removal measure.
The 131st Amendment Bill is wrong because the official numbering assigned to this Bill was the 130th, not the 131st.
Hence, the measure is the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025.
