Imphal, June 18:
The drama in the political theatre of Manipur nearly reached its climax today, as Speaker’s Tribunal of the Manipur Legislative Assembly preponed the hearing of the disqualification case of the 7 defected Congress MLA today from its earlier schedule on June 22. The matter got twisted sabotaging the strategy of the BJP with the Congress MLA K Meghachandra and party moving the Manipur High Court to the bench of Justice K. Nobin on urgency challenging the Manipur’s Speaker’s act suspecting foul play.
The same bench on June 6 had ordered to bar the 7 (seven) defected MLAs from entering the state Assembly Complex and directed the Speaker’s tribunal to dispose the pending case.
Interestingly, the bench of Justice K Nobin reserved the judgment order till tomorrow and following that the hearing in the Speaker’s tribunal too have been reserved following the interceptions with the miscellaneous case filed on urgency by MLA K Meghachandra and party.
Meanwhile, the writ appealed, by the 7 Congress MLAs and Speaker of the Manipur legislative Assembly to the division bench of Justice Ahanthem Bimol and Jamir too has been differed due to technical problem.
As no new announcement at any of the courts has been made, no change to the earlier ruling by the Manipur High Court that had barred the 7 defected MLAs from entering the Manipur Legislative Assembly remained unchanged. That means the 7 defected congress MLAs will not be able to cast their vote in the Rajya Sabha election scheduled tomorrow.
