Vacation of seats by persons already members of one House on election to the other House. * * * * STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS Act 3 of 1957.— Clause (1) of Article 190 of the Constitution provides that no person shall be a member of both Houses of the Legislature of the State and provision shall be made by the Legislature of the State by law for the vacation by a person who is chosen a member of both Houses of his seat in one House or the other. As the Mysore Legislature (Prohibition of Simultaneous Membership) Act, 1951, passed by the old Mysore Legislature, does not apply to the new State and as it is necessary to implement the duty cast on the State Legislature by clause (1) of Article 190, the need for the Bill has arisen. If no bye-elections are held either to the Legislative Assembly or Legislative Council till their reconstitution, such a law will not be necessary till the election are held. But the law will have to be enacted before the next elections as cases of persons standing for election to both Houses may arise, and there should be some law as contemplated by Clause (1) of Article 190 of the Constitution. Hence this Bill.
