Disqualification hearing: 3 suspended Congress MLAs in J’khand seek eight weeks to file reply, Speaker to decide next date

Hindustan Times  

RANCHI Jharkhand Legislative Assembly Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahto on Wednesday adjourned the hearing on the disqualification complaint moved by Congress legislature party leader Alamgir Alam against three suspended party legislators after they filed a petition seeking eight weeks to file their reply. Three suspended Congress MLAs interact with media outside a jail, after Calcutta High Court granted them interim bail on August 22. The three suspended Congress legislators — Irfan Ansari, Naman Bixel Kongari and Rajesh Kacchap — were arrested in Kolkata on July 30 with ₹48 lakh in cash, which their party alleged was paid to topple the Hemant Soren government. Later, based on complaint of three Congress legislators Anup Singh, Shilpi Neha Tirkey and Bhushan Bara, who alleged that the three suspended MLAs had approached them with offers to switch sides and topple the Soren government, Alamgir Alam recommended to the Speaker to initiate disqualification proceedings against them under the anti-defection law.
