Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed as withdrawn a plea moved by the Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Legislative Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, challenging a decision of the West Bengal Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee's assembly to not disqualify MLA Mukul Roy. On Friday, the Court heard two petitions moved by the Adhikari, one against the Speaker’s decision and the other, against a Calcutta High Court order dated April 11, 2022, which had set aside the first decision taken by the Speaker in February 2022 to dismiss Adhikari’s petition seeking Roy’s disqualification. While hearing the plea challenging the Speaker’s decision, Justices Dinesh Maheshwari and Sanjay Kumar questioned Senior Advocate CS Vaidyanathan, appearing for Adhikari, why the Calcutta High Court was “bypassed”. In an earlier occasion also, you attempted to challenge the Speaker's order here in the Supreme Court with a detailed order, thereafter you withdrew it, then you went to High Court and it is pending.
