Mizoram MLA to Seek Review of Supreme Court Order on Dual Membership in ADCs
Mizoram MLA Rashik Mohan Chakma plans to file a review petition against a Supreme Court order that reinstated a ban on dual membership in Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) and the State Assembly. The Supreme Court directed the Chakma and Mara ADCs to restore this prohibition, citing uniformity with the Lai ADC, which still enforces the bar. Chakma contends the court's observation is incorrect, noting the Lai ADC repealed the dual membership ban in 2010 and alleges concealment of facts by the petitioner, Rustom Chakma. The issue follows a Gauhati High Court ruling that ADC members can also be MLAs under Articles 101 and 190 of the Constitution.
