With Lok Sabha elections around the corner, politics is quite clearly in the air. And the legal field is no exception.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court directed that trials of all sitting MPs and MLAs charged with serious offences be completed within a year. However, it did not go into the recommendations of the Law Commission relating to the disqualification of these Parliamentarians.
