The Centre has informed the Supreme Court that imposing a lifetime ban on politicians convicted in criminal cases is "harsh." The government contends that such a ban would be disproportionate and may infringe upon the rights of elected representatives. This statement was made in response to a petition seeking a lifetime ban on convicted politicians from contesting elections. The Supreme Court is currently deliberating on this matter, considering the implications for democracy and the rights of elected officials.
