Which Constitutional Amendment provided that the election of the President or Vice-President cannot be challenged merely on the ground of vacancies in the Electoral College?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. 11th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1961B. 11वां संविधान संशोधन अधिनियम, 1961
Explanationव्याख्या
The 11th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1961 is associated with the rule that an election to the offices of President or Vice-President cannot be called into question merely because there is a vacancy among the members of the relevant Electoral College.
The principle is important for constitutional continuity.
If every vacancy in an Electoral College could automatically invalidate the election, filling these high constitutional offices could be disrupted by circumstances unrelated to the validity of the actual voting process.
The provision therefore protects the election from being invalidated solely because the Electoral College was not numerically complete.
11वां संविधान संशोधन अधिनियम, 1961 इस व्यवस्था से संबंधित है कि राष्ट्रपति या उपराष्ट्रपति के निर्वाचन को केवल इस आधार पर चुनौती देकर अवैध नहीं ठहराया जा सकता कि संबंधित निर्वाचक मंडल में कुछ स्थान रिक्त थे। यह सिद्धांत संवैधानिक निरंतरता के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है। यदि निर्वाचक मंडल में प्रत्येक रिक्ति के कारण पूरा चुनाव अमान्य हो जाता, तो इन उच्च संवैधानिक पदों को भरने की प्रक्रिया अनावश्यक रूप से बाधित हो सकती थी। इसलिए केवल निर्वाचक मंडल की अपूर्ण सदस्य संख्या चुनाव को स्वतः अवैध नहीं बनाती।
