SC Reserves Verdict On BRS MLAs’ Disqualification; Criticizes Telangana CM

The Supreme Court has reserved its decision on the petition seeking the disqualification of BRS MLAs in Telangana.

A bench of Justice BR Gavai and Justice AG Masih expressed displeasure over Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s statement.

The court questioned whether it made a mistake by not issuing a contempt notice against him earlier.

The Supreme Court had earlier criticized the Chief Minister for granting bail to BRS leader K Kavitha.

During the hearing, the bench asked why the Telangana Assembly Speaker took 10 months to issue notices on disqualification petitions.

The Chief Minister had stated that even if BRS MLAs joined Congress, by-elections would not be held.

The court said such remarks mock the 10th Schedule of the Constitution, which governs the anti-defection law. Justice Gavai pointed out that statements made in the Assembly hold sanctity.

When senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, representing the Telangana government, declined to comment on the Chief Minister’s statement, the court warned that such remarks should not be made.

Earlier, Justice Gavai questioned the delays in deciding disqualification petitions. The court asked if these petitions should remain unresolved until the end of the Assembly’s term. It warned that delaying decisions undermines democratic principles.

The petition, filed by BRS, demands a quick decision on the disqualification of seven MLAs: Srinivas Reddy Parigi, Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy, Kale Yadaiah, T Prakash Goud, A Gandhi, Gudem Mahipal Reddy, and M Sanjay Kumar.

The court stressed the need for timely action.
