The Supreme Court today reserved its order on a plea seeking to disband the Justice (Retd) BS Chauhan-led enquiry commission in the Vikas Dubey encounter case.
The Supreme Court will hear tomorrow BJP leader Madan Dilawar’s challenge of Rajasthan High Court’s refusal to stay the Speaker’s decision to let 6 BSP MLAs merge with Congress.
A plea has been filed in SC seeking issuance of specific directions in custodial killing/ encounter of accused Rakesh Pandey yesterday and for the registration of FIR under Sections 302, 201, 120-B, 193 of the Indian Penal Code against the police officials involved in custodial killing/alleged encounter.
Rajasthan Congress Chief Whip Mahesh Joshi has moved the Supreme Court against the Rajasthan High Court’s order asking the speaker to defer disqualification proceeding against Sachin Pilot and 18 other Congress MLAs, calling the order illegal and unconstitutional.
On day 3, Pilot’s counsel says Article 226 gives high courts jurisdiction over Speaker’s actions; ‘What has been done (by the Speaker) was in total violation of the principle of natural justice,” says Mukul Rohatgi; HC asks Speaker to take no action on Pilot and dissidents till Friday’s verdict.
