Defected Telangana MLAs served notices, to respond after obtaining legal opinion
Defected BRS MLAs Tellam Venkat Rao, M Sanjay Kumar and others have confirmed to have received the notices and informed that they would respond after taking legal opinion
Hyderabad: In a fresh jolt to the 10 BRS MLAs who switched loyalties to the ruling Congress, the Assembly Secretary on Tuesday served notices seeking their explanation on the disqualification petitions filed by the BRS Legislative Party against them.
However, the MLAs are learned to have sought some time to respond after consulting legal experts.
The move comes in the wake of the Supreme Court directing the Telangana Assembly Speaker to set a reasonable timeline for ruling on the disqualification petitions and asked the Assembly Secretary to inform the court of the Speaker’s decision within a week.
The apex court had raised questions over the State government’s explanation of “reasonable time” for the Speaker to take a decision on disqualification of the defectors.
Defected BRS MLAs Tellam Venkat Rao, M Sanjay Kumar and others have confirmed to have received the notices and informed that they would respond after taking legal opinion.
