New Delhi:
The Supreme Court on Friday sought the responses of the government and the Election Commission on a plea seeking to restrain convicted politicians from running and holding posts in political parties.

A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A.M. Khanwilkar and D.Y. Chandrachud agreed to examine the validity and contours of Section 29A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.

Registration of associations and bodies as political parties with the Election Commission are dealt under this section.

Senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for lawyer Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay who has filed the Public Interest Litigation, said convicted politicians are barred under the law from contesting elections but they can still run a political party and hold posts in them, besides deciding as to who will become a lawmaker.

The plea has sought directions to the Centre and the Election Commission of India to frame guidelines to decriminalise the electoral system and ensure inner-party democracy as proposed by the National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution.
