Bangladesh’s Awami League Ban: Constitutional Feasibility of Banning Political Parties in India
The ban that Bangladesh has placed on the Awami League is investigated in this article, as is the question of whether or not India might lawfully enforce a prohibition of a similar nature. It describes the situation in Bangladesh, which includes the occurrence of huge demonstrations and the modification of anti-terror laws, and compares this to the constitutional protections that India has in place under Article 19. The Representation of the People Act and the Election Commission are responsible for regulating and supervising different political parties in India. Judicial review is used to ensure that democratic rights are protected. Several decisions made by the Supreme Court, such as the S.R. Bommai case, have established the basic structure concept, which prevents arbitrary bans. Based on the findings in the article, it is concluded that India’s system of checks and balances renders a comprehensive party ban constitutionally untenable, giving preference to targeted legal measures instead.
