JPC likely to retain clause on removal of Ministers after 30-days in custody
The Joint Parliamentary Committee is expected to maintain a clause in the 130th Constitution Amendment Bill that mandates the removal of Ministers, including the Prime Minister, if they are detained for 30 consecutive days. The panel plans to finalize the report before the upcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament.
Why it matters
This legislation addresses the legal accountability of high-ranking government officials and has sparked political debate regarding the potential for misuse of power.
After 10 rounds of meetings since December 2025, the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) examining the 130th Constitution Amendment Bill is likely to recommend no change to its clause proposing the removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers or other Ministers from office if they are arrested and detained in custody for 30 consecutive days for serious offences.
