New Delhi: The Supreme Court has slammed Telangana Legislative Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad over the MLA disqualification and issued an ultimatum to take a decision in four weeks, tv9 telugu reported.
Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader KT Rama Rao and others filed three separate petitions under the tenth schedule seeking the disqualification of ten MLAs who defected to Congress in 2024.
The plea came up for hearing before the bench of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice BR Gavai, on Monday, November 17.
