18th April 2017 The Hindu and PIB Daily Current Affairs

1)Channakeshava temple in Belur turns 900:- Masterpiece of Hoysala architecture.

The temple was constructed by Vishnuvardhana of Hoysala dynasty and is a monument recognised by the ASI. It was built between 1106 AD and 1117 AD.

Hoysalas were ruling the Areas of Modern Day karnataka. Belur is in Hasan District of Karnataka.


2)Larger Bench on anti-defection case:=
What is the Question in front of the Larger Bench of Supreme Court:=Will the anti-defection law apply to MPs and MLAs expelled from their parties?

Background := Twenty-one years ago, the Supreme Court concluded in G. Viswanathan versus Hon-’ble Speaker, Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly 1996 case that a legislator expelled from his party shall be deemed to have “voluntarily given up” his membership of that party which got him elected or nominated him to the House.

This legal fiction of deeming him to continue in the party post-election as an “unattached member” makes him therefore vulnerable to disqualification under the Tenth Schedule (antidefection law) of the Constitution.

SO What is the Issue Now := Under the Viswanathan judgment, the expelled legislator would still be susceptible to the “whims and fancies” of the leaders of the party which threw him out despite the fact that subsequently, after his expulsion, he had gone ahead and formed his own political party.

So The Question is Still alive today !! Now The SC will look into status of expelled legislators with regard to Tenth Schedule.

About 10th Schedule:= 52nd Constitutional Amendment Act : 1985
Before Anti-Defection Law, 10th schedule was related to association of Sikkim with India.
