DESK BRIEF: In Week 31 of 2022, the Supreme Court heard matters on bail, political defection, privacy and retirement

With the application of defection law being unclear, the SC will decide whether the case needs to be heard by a larger Bench.

The Constitution of India bans members of the House from defecting from their political party.

MH Government argued that defection of rebel MLAs must be investigated before the floor test is conducted. MLAs argued two are unrelated.
