Resigned MLAs seeking re-election in bypolls may amount to insulting voters: Madras High Court judge
A Madras High Court judge questioned the practice of legislators resigning to force by‑elections and then contesting again, calling it potentially disrespectful to the electorate. Justice S.M. Subramaniam suggested that the Election Commission of India consider issuing guidelines to regulate such resignations and subsequent candidacies, noting that repeated resignations could erode public trust and waste resources.
