The Supreme Court of India stayed the Madras High Court order barring R Seenivasa Sethupathi from participating in Tamil Nadu Assembly floor tests and trust votes, with the Bench calling the High Court’s direction “atrocious” before suspending its operation.
On Monday (18th March): The Supreme Court overturned the High Court decision annulling Congress leader Mohammed Moquim’s 2019 MLA win for Barabati in Cuttack. Moquim can retain his position with restrictions, including inability to vote in assembly. The controversy arose from allegations of undisclosed criminal cases and property details during the election. The next hearing is scheduled for May 10, 2024.
