Limit on Council of Ministers restricts size and bars disqualified legislators from ministerial appointment until disqualification ends or reelection. A cap is imposed on the size of the State Council of Ministers, fixing a ceiling relative to the Legislative Assembly and a legislatively defined minimum, with a transitional compliance period for existing Ministries. A legislator disqualified under the anti defection rule is barred from appointment as a Minister for the period of that disqualification until the member's term would expire or until declared elected on re election, whichever occurs earlier.
