    BRS Party Moves Supreme Court Over MLA Disqualification

    The BRS party has taken its fight to the Supreme Court regarding the disqualification of 10 MLAs who switched allegiance to the Congress. They highlighted that the Telangana Assembly Speaker has not issued notices to these defected MLAs, even though the High Court had already given its ruling on the matter.

    Senior BRS leader T Harish Rao visited New Delhi to discuss the issue with the party’s legal team. After deliberations, the party decided to file both a writ petition and a special leave petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court.

    The writ petition was filed against seven defected MLAs: Arikepudi Gandhi (Serilingampally), Prakash Goud (Rajendranagar), Kale Yadaiah (Chevella), Sanjay Kumar (Jagtial), B Krishnamohan Reddy (Gadwal), Pocharam Srinivas Reddy (Bhanswada), and G Mahipal Reddy (Patancheru). Meanwhile, the SLP was filed against three other MLAs: Danam Nagender, Tellam Venkatrao, and Kadiyam Srihari.

    For context, a Special Leave Petition (SLP) is a request to the Supreme Court to hear an appeal against a lower court’s decision. On the other hand, a writ petition is used to request a court to issue an order to enforce a right or review government actions.

    The BRS, in its petitions, noted that it has been almost nine months since they filed a complaint about the defected MLAs. Despite the High Court ruling six months ago, the Speaker has not taken any action or issued notices to the MLAs. The party urged the Speaker to follow the Supreme Court’s earlier ruling in the Keisham Meghachandra Singh case, which required decisions on such matters to be made within three weeks.

    The BRS party has now requested the Supreme Court to intervene and direct the Speaker to make a decision on the disqualification petitions within four weeks.
