The Supreme Court has directed the Speaker to take a fast decision on the disqualification of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLAs who defeated in Telangana. The court clearly stated that this decision should be taken within three months, otherwise democracy can be damaged. This order of the court has come when no decision was taken on disqualification petitions against 10 BRS MLAs who joined the Congress.
Chief Justice BR A bench headed by Gawai said that if the speakers do not take action on time, then this ‘operation successful, patient dead’ will be a situation. The court said that the case is related to the 10th schedule, in which the speaker has to take a quick decision in the event of defection. The court asked the speaker not to allow the MLAs to delay the process and if this happens, they can convert adverse conclusions against them.
Political defects are threatened in democracy
The court said in its judgment that political defects are a serious threat to the democratic system of the country. If it is not stopped, it can destabilize the entire system. The court also urged the Parliament to consider whether the existing mechanism of deciding the speaker in defect cases is appropriate or needs a change.
High court order overturned
The Supreme Court also quashed the order of the Telangana High Court stating that the speaker should take a decision in ‘appropriate time’. The court admitted that the orders given earlier have delayed action, while the intention of the Constitution was to take immediate decisions.

Notice not sent for seven months
During the hearing, the court expressed displeasure that the speaker did not even issue any notice on disqualification petitions for seven months. The court said that when such petitions are so delayed, it weakens democracy. Issuing notice only after the petition is filed in the court is an insult to the judicial process.
Name and petition background of MLAs
Among those who filed the petition on behalf of BRS were Padi Kaushik Reddy and other MLAs. These petitions were against the MLAs who went to the Congress after winning on the BRS ticket. Among them are names like Danam Nagender, Venkat Rao Tellam and Kadium Srihari. The High Court had earlier ordered the reply to the reply in these cases.

Angry over CM’s comment also
During the hearing, the Supreme Court also expressed resentment over Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s remarks in the assembly, in which he said that there would be no by -elections in the state. The court said that a responsible leader should avoid such remarks. The court also reiterated that the Supreme Court cannot take a decision in cases of disqualification but the role of the speaker comes under the judicial review.
