Supreme Court Urges Expedited Decisions on Disqualification Petitions Against Rebel TMC Legislators
The Supreme Court has urged the Lok Sabha and West Bengal Assembly Speakers to expedite decisions on disqualification petitions against rebel Trinamool Congress MPs and MLAs. The court highlighted a three-month timeframe as reasonable for resolving such cases, referencing its 2020 Meghachandra Singh ruling. The petitions concern members who broke away from the TMC, aligning with rival factions. While the court expressed concern over delays, it stopped short of imposing strict deadlines, emphasizing the Speakers' constitutional roles and expecting timely resolutions by early October.
