For some time past but recently some very very important Judgements/ Orders / Directions / Suggestions have been delivered and directions issued to the Central Government as also to the Chief Election Commission of India by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. In one such judgement, the public representatives after they are elected to the Public Office of M.L.A or Member of Parliament if found guilty and prosecuted by a court in criminal / corruption case and convicted for more then 2 years are to be debarred from contesting the future elections and if they are in position in their offices as M.L.A. or M.P. or Ministers , as the case may be , after the announcement of conviction for more then two years by the competent court, they are automatically cease their such offices and they are no more public representatives from the date of their conviction. To remove this hurdle , representatives of all the political parties, decided that such directions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India are dangerous to their future political career, and accordingly, the Central Government in its cabinet meeting decided contrary to the directions of the Supreme Court of India and an ordinance for promulgation was referred to the President of India for his approval. But , the God is there who gave advice to Mr. Rahul Gandhi , Vice President of the Congress party, though very late, who burs ted in a press Conference of Mr. Ajai Maken, that the ordinance is a nuisance and it should be torn ed and thrown into the dust bin. This dialog of Mr. Rahul Gandhi pick up political heat and ultimately, the Central Cabinet again met on 2nd Oct., 2013 and decided to drop the ordinance and the bill in question. To day Mr. Rahul Gandhi , admitted , that the language he used was wrong but he was right on his em motions.
In another important judgement / directions have been issued to the Chief Election Commission of India that one more button may be added in the voting Machine where it be noted that " none of them" means the voters will get their right of rejection of the candidates contesting the election from different parties / independents etc. If the voter has a right to vote and elect the person of his choice , he / voter must have a right to reject any person / candidate if he is not of his choice. This will be the biggest improvement in the elections to save the democracy of the country in the near future.
