Three separate petitions filed in connection with the disqualification of ten MLAs in Telangana came up for hearing before a bench headed by Chief justice of the Supreme Court, Justice BR Gavai, on Monday.  On July 31, the bench headed by Justice BR Gavai had ordered a decision on the petitions filed by the BRS against those MLAs within three months.  

However, since it was not possible to take a decision within that time due to various reasons, the Miscellaneous Application filed by the Secretary of Telangana legislative Assembly seeking another two months’ time to the Speaker was listed before the Cji’s bench at number 14.
