The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notices to the Telangana government, speaker's officer, Telangana Legislative Assembly Secretary, ECI and the defected lawmakers, alleging delay by the assembly speaker in deciding the petitions for disqualification of BRS MLAs who defected to the Congress.
A bench comprising Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih posted that the hearing is on March 25. The bench sought responses from all the concerned parties before this date of hearing.
While one of the pleas challenges the November 2024 order of the Telangana High Court over the disqualification of three BRS MLAs who joined the ruling Congress, the other petition is over the remaining seven legislators who defected.
