Analyse the role of Registered Unrecognised Political Parties (RUPP) and the concerns associated with them.
Main Body
ECI lacks explicit statutory power to de-register political parties.
Supreme Court in INC v Institute of Social Welfare held that ECI doesn't possess power to de-register.
Further, in Mohinder Gill case the court observed that ECI's powers are not unlimited.
However in situations of fraudulent registration & UAPA conviction, ECI may de-register a political party.
There is requirement of legal reforms & giving more teeth to ECI to ensure integrity of India's electoral democracy.
