Guwahati High Court has stayed the disqualification of the 14 dissident MLAs from Arunacahl Pradesh Assembly by speaker Nabam Rebia on Tuesday. Justice BK Sharmah issued this order and will hear the case tomorrow. The writ petition was filed by the 14 Dissident Congress MLAs challenging the speaker’s order which according to them have not given enough opportunity to defend themselves.
Interlocutory applications have also been filed in the high court by Deputy Speaker TN Thongdok and some MLAs to vacate or modify the earlier order of Justice Hrishikesh Roy which has kept the December 16 Assembly’s proceedings in abeyance and February 1 as the next date of hearing.
