Supreme Court Urges West Bengal Speaker to Resolve Disqualification of 10 Rebel TMC MLAs

The Supreme Court issued a directive to the West Bengal Speaker on a fixed date, urging a timely decision on disqualification petitions against ten rebel Trinamool Congress MLAs. The petitions, filed by the Speaker’s office, seek to remove the legislators for alleged anti‑party activities. The Court has set a specific deadline for the Speaker to deliver a ruling, emphasizing the need to maintain legislative stability. The 10 MLAs represent a mix of constituencies, and their disqualification would impact the TMC’s majority in the 294‑member assembly. The party has stated it will comply with the Court’s directive and expects a swift resolution.
