Summary:
The judge said the Speaker’s act of withholding permission for de-notifying the expulsion amounted to wilful disobedience of the HC order. The two SPs should have considered the requests of the two legislators for revival of gunmen in the backdrop of the HC order. On April 17, the judge set aside expulsion of the two legislators and passed an order that their membership of the House be restored. As their membership was not revived, the two MLAs moved the HC. Challenging the expulsion and the notification, the two MLAs moved the HC a week later..
