SC sets aside Kerala High Court order suspending conviction of MP Mohd. Faizal

The Supreme Court on Tuesday set aside an order of a Single Judge Bench of the Kerala High Court suspending the conviction of Lok Sabha member in an attempt-to-murder case.

A Bench headed by Justice B.V. Nagarathna asked the High Court to hear afresh the appeal filed by the Lakshadweep administration and decide it in six weeks.

Mr. Faizal would continue to be an MP till the time the High Court decides the case. The Supreme Court said it did not want to create a vacuum in the constituency seat he represented in the Parliament.
