 Tamil Nadu Legislature (Prevention of Disqualification) Act, 1967
 
 (Tamil Nadu Act
 3 of 1967 
 )
 
 Statement of Objects and Reasons - Tamil Nadu Legislature (Prevention of Disqualification) Act, 1967 (Tamil Nadu Act
 3 of 1967 
 ). - Before the promulgation of the Madras Legislature (Prevention of Disqualification) Ordinance, 1966 (Madras Ordinance 4 of 1966), the only statutory provisions in force in this State providing for the removal of disqualification for membership of the State Legislature, were section 11 of the Madras Payment of Salaries and Removal of Disqualifications Act, 1951 (Madras Act XX of 1951), and section 17(1)  of the Madras Home Guard Act, 1963 (Madras Act
 3 of 1963 
 ). According to the provisions mentioned above, the office of Parliamentary Secretary or membership of the National Cadet Corps, Territorial Army, Air Defence Reserve or Auxiliary Air Force or Home Guard was not considered to be a disqualification for membership of the State Legislature. Any other office of profit under Government would disqualify its holder for membership of the State Legislature. The corresponding law applicable to membership of Parliament is the Parliament (Prevention of Disqualification) Act, 1959 (Central Act
 10 of 1959 
 ). The Central Act is comprehensive in nature and covers membership of statutory as well as non-statutory bodies. It was considered that the law applicable to membership of the State Legislature should be more comprehensive and that the subject should be dealt with in a separate enactment, repealing the provisions bearing on this topic in the 1951 and 1963 Madras Acts. The matter had assumed urgency just on the eve of the general elections. As the Legislature was not in session, the Ordinance was promulgated with a view to enable persons who might be members of the various bodies to stand for elections without their eligibility being questioned on the ground that they hold any office of profit under Government.
 
 2. The Bill seeks to replace the above Ordinance by an Act of the Legislature.
 
 Published in Part IV-Section 3, pages 7-10 of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extra-ordinary, dated the 25th March, 1967.
 
 Statement of Objects and Reasons - Tamil Nadu Legislature (Prevention of Disqualification) Amendment Act, 1971 (Tamil Nadu Act 46 of 1971). - According to section 2 of the Tamil Nadu Legislature (Prevention of Disqualification) Act, 1967 (Tamil Nadu Act
 3 of 1967 
 ), none of the offices specified in the Schedule to the said Act shall disqualify or shall be deemed ever to have disqualified, the holder thereof for being chosen as, or for being, a member of the Legislative Assembly or of the Legislative Council. Subsequent to the enactment of this Act, certain Committees and Boards were constituted by the Government of Tamil Nadu and the Government of India for various administrative purposes. The Joint Committee on Offices of Profit (set up by the Government of India) has recommended that the membership, secretaryship or chairmanship of these bodies ought not to disqualify for Membership of Parliament. There maybe persons from the State of Tamil Nadu in these bodies who are Members of the State Legislature or who intend to seek election to the Legislative Assembly or the Legislative Council. Hence, it has been decided that all these Committees and Boards should be included in the Schedule to the Tamil Nadu Legislature (Prevention of Disqualification) Act, 1967, to ensure that the membership or secretaryship or chairmanship of these bodies will not disqualify the holders thereof for being chosen as, or for being a member of the Legislative Assembly or of the Legislative Council of Tamil Nadu.
