The court has listed the matter for further hearing on August 8. According to the 10th Schedule of the Constitution, also known as the anti-defection law, a member can be disqualified if he or she voluntarily gives up membership in a party. Advocate HC Arora had filed a petition in September 2024 before the assembly speaker seeking disqualification of the MLA and subsequently moved the high court in September alleging that, the assembly speaker did not fix any date of hearing. The PIL was disposed of in February with the observations that the court hoped the process of hearing would conclude as expeditiously as possible.
