The Supreme Court of India addressed petitions against the Telangana Speaker for delaying disqualification requests of defected BRS MLAs. Justice Gavai emphasized the court’s duty to oversee constitutional adherence, questioning the Speaker’s inaction. The court is set to continue hearings after hearing arguments concerning the Speaker’s timeline for decisions.
Six former MLAs from Himachal Pradesh are considering withdrawing their plea challenging their disqualification by the Supreme Court. They aim to participate in upcoming by-elections, as their disqualification stemmed from defying a party directive during a crucial Assembly vote. The Supreme Court had scheduled a hearing for their appeal on May 6.
