The Tenth Schedule — popularly known as the Anti-Defection Act — was included in the Constitution in 1985 by the Rajiv Gandhi ministry. It sets the provisions for disqualification of elected members on the grounds of defection to another political party. The decision on questions as to disqualification on ground of defection are referred to the Chairman or the Speaker of such House, and his decision is final.
