Overview
- Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender on Sunday submitted a written request for more time to answer a disqualification notice after meeting AICC leaders in New Delhi.
- Station Ghanpur MLA Kadiyam Srihari earlier met Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar, sought an extension, and said he would abide by the Speaker’s decision after consulting legal advisers.
- The Speaker issued fresh notices requiring responses by November 23 as the Supreme Court has pressed for decisions and issued contempt notices over delays.
- Hearings on petitions against eight of the 10 MLAs have concluded and orders have been reserved, while final action on Danam and Kadiyam is pending.
- Reports say Danam is weighing options, including possible resignation, as a disqualification under the anti-defection law could trigger a bar on contesting elections for up to six years.
