New Delhi, Feb 25 (TIWN) The Supreme Court on Friday declined to entertain a plea by BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari challenging the West Bengal Assembly Speaker order, who dismissed his petition seeking disqualification of Mukul Roy as an MLA.
A bench of Justices L. Nageswara Rao and B.R. Gavai said: “After hearing counsel, we are of considered view that the petitioner can approach high court assailing the Speaker’s order.”
In June last year, Roy, a former BJP national Vice President, had defected to the Trinamool Congress. In the same month, Adhikari filed the petition before the Speaker seeking Roy’s disqualification.
The bench queried senior advocate C.S. Vaidyanathan, representing Adhikari, which fundamental right of his client was violated.
