Kolkata, Nov. 13 -- Describing the disqualification of TMC MLA Mukul Roy from the West Bengal Assembly over defection, leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari today said the Calcutta High Court ruling is historic.
In a statement, Adhikari said the ruling of the division bench comprising Justice Debangsu Basak and Justice Md. Shabbar Rashidi's disqualification of Mukul Ray as an MLA owing to his defection was historic in a hotly contested writ petition filed by him.
The court ruling also quashed an order passed by the Speaker of the assembly, who had refused to do the same and had delayed his decision in the defection petition filed by him.
