A parliamentary panel proposes changes to how the government deals with the detention of top officials, including the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers and ministers. According to the report, if such officials are detained for 30 days on serious charges, the panel recommends they be suspended rather than removed from office. The proposal is framed as a temporary measure triggered by a custody timeline tied to allegations classified as serious. The panel also includes an automatic reversal mechanism: if the detained person is acquitted or if the prosecution does not proceed within a specified period, the suspension would be reversed, restoring the official to office. The sources agree that the core elements are a 30-day detention threshold, suspension instead of removal, and a conditional automatic restoration if legal proceedings do not result in continuation or end in acquittal. The report indicates the proposal aims to balance continuity of governance with consequences for officials facing serious criminal charges, while providing a built-in review point based on the outcome of the case.
