Telangana Speaker Seeks Two-Month Extension From Supreme Court on BRS Disqualification Hearings

The request follows a Supreme Court order setting a three-month deadline for ruling on BRS disqualification pleas.

Overview

  • The Assembly Secretary filed the plea on the Speaker’s behalf seeking two additional months to finish the inquiry.
  • The Supreme Court had directed completion within three months on July 31, and the deadline expired on October 31.
  • Only four of the ten MLAs have been examined since hearings began on September 29, leaving most proceedings incomplete.
  • Senior legislators Danam Nagender and Kadiyam Srihari have not appeared after asking for more time, while several peers submitted affidavits.
  • The petitions target ten former BRS MLAs who shifted allegiance to the Congress-led government after the 2023 Telangana elections.
