Supreme Court dismissed Antony Raju’s plea to suspend his conviction in the 1990 evidence tampering case. His conviction stands, keeping his MLA disqualification intact, while courts earlier upheld findings of conspiracy, destruction and fabrication of crucial evidence
Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar on Friday postponed the hearing on disqualification petitions against Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender to February 18, following a request from BJP floor leader Alleti Maheshwar Reddy seeking more time to participate.
Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender said his lawyer has responded to the Speaker’s notice seeking his appearance in connection with a disqualification petition. He claimed he is still associated with the BRS and said he does not fear elections
TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud has reiterated that 10 BRS MLAs joined the Congress to safeguard the State government from opposition threats. His remarks contradict the MLAs’ claims that they remain with BRS. Goud also criticised KT Rama Rao for lacking moral authority to speak on defections.
The Telangana High Court has reserved its judgment on the appeals filed by the Telangana Assembly Secretary challenging the single judge’s order regarding disqualification petitions.
