Explanation:

An office of profit is a term used in a number of national constitutions to refer to executive appointments.

The expression "office of profit" has not been defined in the Constitution or in the Representation of the People Act, 1951. It is for the courts to explain the significance and meaning of this concept. Over the years, courts have decided this issue in the context of specific factual situations.

Thus the final interpretation and decision whether a person is disqualified or not rests with the courts and not with Parliament.
