Supreme Court Orders Madhya Pradesh Speaker to Decide Anti-Defection Plea Within Two Months
The Supreme Court directed the Madhya Pradesh Assembly Speaker to decide within two months the pending disqualification plea against Congress MLA Nirmala Sapre under the anti-defection law. The court emphasized that petitions under the Tenth Schedule must be resolved promptly, regardless of the assembly's remaining tenure. The plea, filed by Opposition leader Umang Singhar in July 2024, alleges Sapre voluntarily gave up her Congress membership and joined the BJP, which she denies. The court criticized delays and urged expeditious rulings in such cases.
