Kodandaram and Amer Ali Khan to be nominated again as MLCs under Governor’s quota after HC verdict

The Congress Government, in all likelihood, will nominate M. Kodandaram and Amer Ali Khan as Members of the Legislative Council under Governor’s quota.

Sources said fresh recommendations would be sent before the notification for Parliament polls is out. Their names were sent earlier but the High Court quashed the gazette notification appointing them as members while disposing of the case filed by Dasoju Shravan and Kurra Satyanarayana, nominated by the earlier government but rejected by the Governor.

With the High Court now pushing the ball back into the Governor’s office reminding its limitation that the file cleared by the Council of Ministers can only be referred back and not rejected, Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan will most likely send the file to the government seeking a re-look at the nominations.
