The Supreme Court of India has questioned the constitutional validity of laws disqualifying individuals with more than two children from contesting local body elections. The court noted such restrictions may infringe citizens' reproductive autonomy under Article 21. A bench referred the issue to a larger bench and stayed disqualification proceedings, revisiting its 2003 ruling upholding the two-child norm in panchayat elections.
