The Supreme Court has suspended Telangana MLCs M Kodandaram and Amer Ali Khan, ruling their induction under the Governor’s quota invalid. The Court said, “The action… on the strength of the interim order was misplaced.”
The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Telangana Government and the Governor regarding a petition challenging the Governor’s refusal to nominate two leaders as members of the State Legislative Council. The Court has requested responses from involved parties and indicated that any appointments made will be subject to this petition.
On 7th March, The Telangana High Court invalidated M Kodandaram and Amer Ali Khan’s Legislative Council nominations, impacting Congress and the previous BRS regime. The decision traced back to the Governor’s rejection of BRS leaders’ nominations in 2023. The judgment stressed the importance of procedural and constitutional adherence in the nomination process, prompting calls for reconsideration.
