HYDERABAD: On a petition filed by three Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs challenging their suspension from the Assembly, the Telangana High Court issued notice to the State Legislature Secretary on Wednesday.
Raghunandan Rao, Eatala Rajender, and T. Raja Singh have filed a plea to have their suspension from the House of Representatives for the full business session overturned.
Prakash Reddy, their lawyer, stated that their suspension was in violation of the Legislative Assembly's regulations and the Constitution. The MLAs claimed that their suspensions were pre-planned.
The legislators requested that the Legislature Secretary's action in suspending them be declared illegal and in violation of the Assembly's Rules of Procedure and conduct of business, as well as Articles 14, 21, and 194 of the Constitution.
B.S. Prasad, the Attorney General, requested that the court refrain from interfering in legislative matters. The court gave notice to the Legislature Secretary and adjourned the hearing until Thursday after hearing both sides' arguments. Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy suspended all three BJP MLAs from the Assembly for the full session on Monday.
