Reflecting on the goings-on on the electoral reforms front over the last two decades, however, does weaken the exuberance. When the Supreme Court upheld the High Court’s decision, the Parliament amended the law unanimously to prevent implementation of the judgement. The amendment was challenged in the Supreme Court and the court struck down the amendment as unconstitutional. The net impact of the above action on cleaning up the legislature and politics of the influence of criminalisation, taking the effort and expenditure required, will possibly be greater than what has been mooted in the Supreme Court. So, let us celebrate the proposals initiated by the Supreme Court and hope that they are put into real effect very soon.
