As regards the 'disqualification on ground of defection' as per the Constitution of India, which of the following statements is/are correct ?
1. Disqualification on ground of defection does not apply to any nominated member of a House
2. Disqualification on ground of defection does not apply to a member of a House if she/he does not accept the merger of her/his original political party into another and opts to function as a separate group
Select the answer using the code given below :
2 only
Statement 1 overstates the protection: under the Tenth Schedule, a nominated member is protected from disqualification only if they do not join any political party within six months of taking their seat — the blanket claim that disqualification 'does not apply to any nominated member of a House' ignores this six-month conditionality, so statement 1 is not correct as worded. Statement 2 correctly describes the protection given to a member who does not accept their original party's merger and functions as a separate group. Hence, only statement 2 is correct.
