Hyderabad: Expressing displeasure at not filing the counter affidavit for the past eight months, the Hyderabad High Court on Thursday again issued notices to the 22 MLAs of the YSR Congress, including four ministers in AP Cabinet, who have joined the ruling Telugu Desam without resigning from the YSRCP and also to the secretary of the AP Assembly.
A division bench comprising Justice Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan and Justice S.V. Bhatt was dealing with a PIL by Mr A Ramakrishna Reddy, MLA of YSR Congress, seeking to disqualify 22 MLAs of YSR Congress including, Ministers C. Adinarayana Reddy, S. Krishna Ranga Rao, Amarnath Reddy and Bhuma Akhila Priya.
The bench said that it will deal with the matter without reference to the case pending before the Constitutional bench of the Apex Court.
The bench permitted that petitioner to implead the Election Commission as respondent to the case. The bench adjourned the matter for two weeks.
