The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a petition on the disqualification of BRS rebel MLAs, including Danam Nagender, Kadiyam Srihari, and Tella Venkatar Rao. The court stated that the petition regarding the disqualification of the seven MLAs would be heard together with those petitions. The court directed the lawyer representing the Telangana Speaker, Mukul Rohitgi, to submit the petitions related to the disqualification of these MLAs.
The Supreme Court also asked the Speaker to provide a clear timeline for a decision on the disqualification petitions. The next hearing has been scheduled for February 10. The BRS, through its working president KTR, approached the Supreme Court seeking action against MLAs who switched parties after winning on the TRS ticket. These MLAs, including Srinivas Reddy, Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy, Kale Yadayya, T. Prakash Goud, Arikapudi Gandhi, Gudem Mahipal Reddy, and M. Sanjay Kumar, joined the Congress after winning on the TRS ticket. However, the Telangana Speaker has yet to take any action on their disqualification, prompting the BRS to file a petition in the Supreme Court.
The case was heard by a bench comprising Justice B.R. Gavai and Justice Vinod Chandran.
