\nUnder the Tenth Schedule (Anti-Defection Law), a member of a House belonging to a political party becomes disqualified if they voluntarily give up membership (A), vote or abstain against the party whip (D), or if an independent member joins a party after election (C). However, being *expelled* from the political party (B) does not automatically lead to disqualification under the Tenth Schedule. The expelled member continues to be a member of the House but may be treated as an unattached member. They would only be disqualified if they then join another political party or vote\/abstain against the whip of the party they were originally elected from (though the applicability of whip after expulsion is a debated point).
\n<\/section>\n
\nExpulsion from a political party is not a direct ground for disqualification under the Tenth Schedule (Anti-Defection Law).
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Tenth Schedule was added by the 52nd Amendment Act of 1985. It was designed to prevent political defections. The power to decide on disqualification is vested in the Speaker of the Lok Sabha or the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.
