You have written a content-rich answer and addressed the issue elaborately.
Intro and first para can be shortened, use flowchart to write in brief.
Plus you can mention some recent examples, showing the inefficacy of 10th schedule. Need to analyse success of the law.
However, mention about para (4) of the 10th schedule (exempts defectors from disqualification if their original political party merges with another party and two-thirds of the members of that party in the legislature agree with the merger) — you have written this but put a subheading, as it is exclusively asked.
Criticism, steps taken and way forward are all fine.
Overall, you can try to be more point to point in 10 marks questions addressing mainly the issue that has been asked. Your knowledge is good.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Decent attempt.
Introduction looks incomplete though.(the example part- ‘assumed the defection’- which defection?).
In next part, you can mention some more examples from recent times to show the ineffectiveness of defection law.
Other points are fine.
You can present both sides of the argument by mentioning 1-2 positive points like stability in govt, faster policy making etc
Paragraph 4 is well explained.
A brief way forward can be mentioned (recos of Dinesh Goswami committee, Venkatchaliah commission etc).
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂
Kindly review

Please mention reference ID.
See the question doesn’t ask you the provisions of the law directly, but an analysis on whether it has been succesful or not.
In intro, you can mention some recent examples which have shown the ineffectiveness of defection law.
Then the points written in criticism should form the main body, how loopholes are exploited( mass defections, resigning and recontesting elections, delay in decision-making by speaker).
After that, you can present both sides of the argument by mentioning 1-2 positive points like stability in govt, faster policy making etc
Paragraph 4 explanation is fine.
Last para can be mentioned as way forward, where you can add some recommendations of Dinesh Goswami committee, Venkatchaliah commission etc
Your knowledge is good, but the answer can be more to the point.
No need to write everything, just address what has been asked.
Keep practicing. 🙂
