Article 94 of CoI : Article 94: Vacation, Resignation, And Removal From The Offices Of Speaker And Deputy Speaker

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where Mrs. Sharma is the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, and she loses her seat in the Lok Sabha due to a disqualification arising from a violation of election laws. According to Article 94(1) of the Constitution of India, Mrs. Sharma would have to vacate her office as Speaker because she is no longer a member of the Lok Sabha.

In another instance, Mr. Singh, the Deputy Speaker, decides that he wants to retire from politics. He writes a resignation letter addressed to Mrs. Sharma, the Speaker, indicating his intention to resign from his post as Deputy Speaker, as per Article 94(2).

Lastly, if a significant number of members of the Lok Sabha are dissatisfied with Mrs. Sharma's performance as Speaker, they can pass a resolution to remove her from office. However, they must give at least fourteen days' notice before moving the resolution, as stipulated in Article 94(3) and the provisos that follow.
