PANAJI: Congress’ petition challenging speaker Rajesh Patnekar’s order pertaining to the disqualification of 10 Congress-turned-BJP MLAs is likely to come up for hearing on Monday before the high court of Bombay at Goa.
The petition, filed by state Congress president Girish Chodankar, has been listed for hearing.
Chodankar has filed a petition with the high court of Bombay at Goa challenging Patnekar’s order dismissing the disqualification petition filed against 10 former MLAs who defected to the BJP in 2019.
He said that the petition was filed earlier in the week.
“The disqualification order has already been challenged before the high court last week,” Chodankar told reporters.
More than 18 months after Congress and MGP filed disqualification petitions seeking the disqualification of 12 MLAs who switched over from Congress and MGP to BJP, Patnekar dismissed the petitions.
The speaker said that there was no merit in the claims raised by either Congress or MGP.
