Can six UBT MPs face disqualification for missing parliamentary session? Legal experts divided

Legal opinion is split on whether six MPs from the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray party can face disqualification proceedings for skipping a parliamentary session. Some experts argue that repeated absence without valid reasons could trigger disqualification rules, while others contend that the circumstances and applicable regulations need closer examination before any action is taken.

The matter has sparked debate among constitutional scholars regarding the scope of disqualification provisions and the conditions under which they can be invoked against lawmakers who miss legislative sessions.
