The Supreme Court today allowed the Rajasthan High Court to pronounce order on plea of 19 dissident Congress MLAs, including the sacked deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot, against the Assembly Speaker’s notice for initiating disqualification proceedings against them. The Bench observed that the voice of dissent in democracy cannot be shut down, but it would be subject to the outcome of the petition before the top court. It has fixed the plea for hearing on July 27.
Rajasthan Assembly Speaker CP Joshi however failed to get any interim relief on his plea alleging that the high court cannot interdict the disqualification proceedings undertaken by him under 10th schedule of the Constitution.
A bench of Justices Arun Mishra, B R Gavai and Krsihna Murari said Joshi’s plea raises important questions and requires prolonged hearing.
