New Delhi, Jan. 29 -- The Supreme Court on Wednesday reserved its order on RJD MLC Sunil Kumar Singh's petition challenging his expulsion from the Bihar Legislative Council for allegedly using defamatory language against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
The matter was heard by a bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice N. Kotiswar Singh, which emphasized the need to balance legal provisions involved in the case.
Senior Advocate Ranjit Kumar, representing the Bihar Legislative Council, defended the expulsion, highlighting Singh's previous suspension for misconduct. He argued that Singh was provided opportunities to access relevant video clips and materials, but he failed to attend the meetings where these were to be shown.
