According to the new schedule, hearings will be held on November 6, 7, 12, and 13.

The disqualification cases involve MLAs Dr. Sanjay, Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, Tellam Venkata Rao, and Arikepudi Gandhi. The Speaker’s office stated that petitioners will be examined first, followed by the cross-examination of respondents. Two cross-examinations will be conducted each day.

The petitions were originally filed by the BRS seeking disqualification of certain legislators who allegedly defected to other parties. 

The Speaker’s move to resume the inquiry is seen as an important step toward concluding the long-pending issue in compliance with court directions. (Maxim News)
