Bill to Remove Jailed Ministers From Office Set for Monsoon Session

India is set to revive a proposed law that would automatically remove ministers from office if they are jailed. Under the bill, a minister accused of an offense carrying a sentence of five years or more would be dismissed if held in custody for 30 consecutive days. The removal would take effect on the 31st day, either through action by the President or Governor, or automatically. The legislation is expected to be introduced during the upcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament.
