Supreme Court Expresses Concerns At Indefinite Suspension Of AAP MP Raghav Chadha From Rajya Sabha

Live Law  

While hearing the writ petition filed by Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chadha challenging his suspension from the Rajya Sabha on August 11 during the monsoon session, the Supreme Court expressed grave concern over the indefinite suspension of a Member of Parliament and its impact on the right of the people to be represented. The Rajya Sabha Chairperson suspended Chadha pending the inquiry by the Privileges Committee following a resolution passed by the house. He also cited the Supreme Court's judgment in Ashish Shelar v. Maharashtra Legislative Assembly in which the Court set aside the indefinite suspension of MLAs. When Dwivedi conveyed Chadha's willingness to apologize, the CJI asked the AG if the Rajya Sabha Chairman could revoke the suspension accepting the apology, thereby "obviating" the need for the Supreme Court to lay down the law.
