The 12 BJP members, who were suspended early this month for a year on the charges of creating ruckus in the house and misbehaving with the presiding officer, have moved the Supreme Court. They have urged the court to set aside the resolution in which the disciplinary action was approved in the lower house on July 5, and grant a stay on their suspension till their plea is decided.
One of the MLAs and party’s chief whip in the Assembly, Ashish Shelar said from New Delhi on Thursday that they have made a group of four each for filing writ in the SC. “We had said the action taken against us was unconstitutional and the resolution the house passed was illegal. We have prayed before the court that the resolution be set aside and suspension stayed till a decision comes in the case,” he added.
