    In a landmark judgement Supreme court on July 2013 termed section 8 (4) of the representation of the people act as Ultra vires.
    Section 8 (4) of RPA allowed a convicted lawmaker to remain in office while there are still cases pending against them .

    SC ordered that the disqualification of an MP or MLA will come into effect immediately after the representative is convicted.

    Along with that SC ordered that the Representative cannot contest election again or cast vote from jail .
