SC asks West Bengal Speaker to decide disqualification pleas against 10 rebel TMC MLAs within fixed timeframe

The Supreme Court expressed confidence in the West Bengal Assembly Speaker regarding disqualification petitions. This comes in the context of ten rebel Trinamool Congress MLAs facing disqualification proceedings. These proceedings involve responses to notices issued by the Assembly Secretariat earlier this month. The rebel camp is led by Ritabrata Banerjee, who is among the MLAs affected. The court emphasized the need for timely action on these petitions.
