Supreme Court Seeks Time Frame for Disqualification of Telangana MLAs
NEW DELHI: The ongoing saga surrounding the disqualification of BRS MLAs, accused of defecting to the Congress party, has reached the Supreme Court, which has now demanded clarity on a reasonable timeframe for resolution. With over seven months of pending petitions, Justices B R Gavai and K Vinod Chandran emphasized the importance of timely action in maintaining the integrity of democracy.
The court underscored that political party rights must not be undermined, stating, “We have all the respect for the other two wings but that does not mean that the Act of Parliament should itself be permitted to be frustrated.” This highlights the critical nature of the matter at hand.
