There has to be a suspension or stay of conviction.

Union of India case in 2013 that &#8220;any MP, MLA, or MLC who is convicted of a crime and given a minimum of 2 years&#8217; jail loses membership in the House with immediate effect.&#8221; The Representation of the People Act&#8217;s Section 8(4), which gave elected officials three months to appeal their conviction, was repealed by the Supreme Court because it was deemed to be &#8220;unconstitutional.&#8221; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It should be noted that Rahul Gandhi has been given 30 days by the court to appeal his punishment. Lawyer and BJP MP Mahesh Jethmalani told NDTV, &#8220;By the operation of the law, he stands disqualified, but the decision has to be communicated to the Speaker. But as of today, he stands disqualified&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Famous attorney Kapil Sibal described the court&#8217;s decision as &#8220;bizarre.&#8221; He told NDTV, &#8220;For a statement made in respect of certain individuals, for him to be convicted for two years &#8212; it is totally bizarre.&#8221; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Interestingly, a Surat court on Thursday found Congress MP Rahul Gandhi guilty of defamation for making a joke about the &#8220;Modi surname&#8221; during the campaign for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
