On February 23, Hemant Soren appealed to the Jharkhand High Court for permission to join the budget session of the assembly. Previously denied by the Special Court, Soren emphasized the importance of his presence during crucial voting sessions. With ongoing legal challenges, his absence could impact key state decisions. The High Court scheduled the next hearing for February 26.
