Скачать или смотреть Understanding Article 101(4): Disqualification for Absence from Parliament

Article 101(4) of the Indian Constitution states that if a member of either House of Parliament is absent from all meetings of the House for a period of sixty days without obtaining permission, the House may declare their seat vacant. This provision ensures accountability and discipline among Members of Parliament (MPs) by preventing prolonged absenteeism. The sixty-day period is calculated based on the actual sittings of the House, not calendar days. However, the House has the authority to grant permission for extended absences if justified. If a member's seat is declared vacant under this provision, they may lose their membership unless reinstated through proper procedures.
