💨 Abstract

Himachal Pradesh Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla has returned a Bill that denies pension to legislators disqualified under the anti-defection law, citing objections and seeking clarifications. The Bill, passed in September 2024, affects six former Congress MLAs who were disqualified for defying whip and abstaining from the House. The Bill cannot be implemented with retrospective effect, causing apprehensions.
