Justice Shameem Akther of the High Court on Wednesday issued notices to Telangana Legislature Secretary in a writ petition filed by three BJP MLAs challenging their suspension from ongoing Assembly budget session.
The judge directed the Secretary to explain reasons for the suspension of three MLAs by Thursday (today). The matter would be heard again today. The plea was filed by BJP legislators M. Raghunandan Rao, E. Rajender and T. Raja Singh, who were suspended for the entire period of ongoing Telangana Assembly budget session on the day of presentation of budget.
Though the judge issued notices to the Secretary, no specific direction was given to furnish a copy of the resolution of suspension of the MLAs as sought by the petitioners. Senior counsel Desai Prakash Reddy appearing for the suspended MLAs said the Secretary should furnish copy of the resolution of the suspension.
