Under which Schedule of the Indian Constitution is the issue of changing party allegiance from a party on which a person got elected, to a different party, is dealt with ?

  • A.Sixth
  • B.Third
  • C.Tenth
  • D.Twelfth

Answer: C

Defection is dealt with in the Tenth Schedule.

The Tenth Schedule, added by the 52nd Amendment of 1985 and known as the anti-defection law, disqualifies a member of a legislature who voluntarily gives up membership of the party on whose ticket he was elected, or votes against its directions.

The Sixth Schedule deals with tribal areas in the North-East, the Third with forms of oaths and affirmations, and the Twelfth with the powers of municipalities.
