KTR's petition deferred to February.

KTR's Petition Deferred to February

The Supreme Court heard the disqualification petition filed against BRS MLAs who joined the Congress Party. The petition, which was filed by BRS Working President KTR, alleged a delay by the Assembly Speaker in deciding the disqualification of these defected MLAs. The petition included MLAs Arikepoodi Gandhi, Prakash Goud, Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy, P. Srinivas Reddy, Kalle Yadayya, Mahipal Reddy, and M. Sanjay Kumar as respondents.

Delay in Speaker's Decision

The Supreme Court began hearing the petition today. Senior lawyer Mukul Rohatgi, representing the Assembly Secretary, argued for more time to gather further information from the Speaker. He assured the court that they would consult with the Speaker and submit the details. The bench, however, questioned how much more time would be needed, considering 10 months had already passed. Despite this, at Rohatgi's request, the court postponed the hearing to February 18.

Reasons for the Postponement

KTR’s petition has gained significant attention for various reasons. The core question remains: why did the court decide to defer the hearing? Legal experts suggest that the court required further investigation and a detailed review of all aspects of the case before making a decision. This led to the postponement of the hearing to February.

Court's Remarks

During the proceedings, the judge noted that it was essential to review the case documents and evidence thoroughly. He advised that the petition be brought back to the court for further arguments and hearings in February.

Responses from BRS Supporters

BRS leaders and supporters have expressed mixed reactions to the court’s decision. Some speculate that the delay in the petition may eventually lead to a favorable ruling for KTR, legally.

Opposition Parties' Criticism

Opposition parties, particularly Congress and BJP, are attempting to turn the situation to their advantage. They have criticized the developments, believing that this could place additional pressure on BRS.

Next Steps

With the Supreme Court postponing the petition until February, all eyes are on the potential political and legal ramifications. Experts predict that the upcoming hearings could have significant consequences for the political landscape. For more updates on this issue and other Telangana news, visit Vaartha Telangana News.
