BJP MLAs Approach Delhi HC Over Suspension from Budget Session, Hearing Today

The Delhi High Court has been approached by Delhi BJP MLAs who were suspended for the duration of the Delhi Assembly’s budget session in order to contest the decision that led to their suspension. The matter was mentioned for an urgent listing on Monday, and the bench of Justices Manmohan and Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora decided to hear the matter on Monday itself. On behalf of the BJP MLAs, Senior Advocate Jayant Mehta brought up the issue before the bench. It was argued that the opposition MLAs’ suspension is entirely incorrect and that it affects their ability to take part in the proceedings.

Mehta during mentioned also submitted that the motion to suspend the MLAs is unconstitutional and contrary to the rules.
The budget session of the Delhi assembly began on February 15, 2024 with the LG outlining the policies, programmes and work of the AAP-led Delhi government in the fields of education, health, transport, social welfare, infrastructure, etc.
It was alleged that as Saxena began his speech mentioning AAP’s achievements, BJP MLA and former leader of opposition Vijender Gupta interrupted. Later other BJP MLAs also continued interrupting LG speech while Llhe was highlighted various achievements of the government.

AAP leader and Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj stated on Friday following the decision to suspend the BJP MLAs from the Delhi legislative assembly, “A few days ago in the upper house of the Parliament, Rajya Sabha, it was seen that a few members were suspended for the time till the report of privilege committee came… The largest house, the parliament, serves as an inspiration to these little houses, the state assemblies. The code of conduct states that disrupting LG’s speech is a serious offense that should be treated as contempt of court.
