Telangana High Court on Tuesday passed an order to maintain status quo over the notification appointing M. Kodandaram and Amir Ali Khan as MLCs under Governor quota till February 8.
A bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Anil Kumar Jukanti, after hearing arguments in two interim applications pertaining to two writ petitions filed by Dasoju Sravan Kumar and Kurra Satyanarayana, gave the direction. Mr. Kumar and Satyanarayana filed two writ petitions challenging rejection of their nomination by earlier BRS government as MLCs under Governor quota.
While the two pleas were pending for adjudication, the newly formed Congress government led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy nominated M. Kodandaram and Amir Ali Khan as MLCs under Governor quota. A GO Ms no. 12 was issued nominating them as MLCs on January 27.
