Senior advocate Arvind Datar calls for reforms to replace the Speaker as the decision-making authority in disqualification pleas and recategorize which whip can lead to such action. He suggests that the decision of disqualification should be removed from the Speaker and proposes the establishment of a separate tribunal headed by a judge. Datar also emphasizes the need to distinguish between dissent and defection, suggesting that only certain situations like a no confidence motion or a bill implementing the party's manifesto should be considered as defection.
