Mahua Moitra expulsion | Supreme Court seeks Lok Sabha Secretary General's reply on TMC leader's plea

A Bench refused to pass any order on an interim prayer of Trinamool leader Mahua Moitra to let her attend the proceedings of the Lok Sabha

The Supreme Court on January 3 gave three weeks to the Secretary General, Lok Sabha Secretariat, to respond to a petition filed by Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra against her expulsion as an MP from the Lower House, but did not allow her the immediate interim relief of participating in the House sessions.

“That will be like virtually allowing your writ petition against the expulsion,” Justice Sanjiv Khanna, heading the Bench, addressed senior advocate A.M. Singhvi and advocate Shadan Farasat, who appeared for Ms. Moitra.
