Three BJP MLAs moved the High Court here on Tuesday seeking a direction to set aside their suspension from the ongoing budget session of Telangana Assembly.
The petition, likely to be heard in a day or two, was filed by BJP legislators M. Raghunandan Rao, E. Rajender and T. Raja Singh. They were suspended the previous day from the Assembly for the entire budget session some 10 to 15 minutes after the Finance Minister T. Harish Rao started his budget speech.
The three legislators requested the HC to instruct the Legislature Secretary to ‘allow’ them for ‘free and unhindered participation’ in the ongoing budget session. They also wanted the HC to stay the operation of their suspension order. The petitioners requested the court to direct the Legislature Secretariat (represented by Legislature Secretary) to furnish a copy of the resolution moved by Legislature Secretary for their suspension.
