Disqualified Lakshadweep MP Mohammed Faizal, belonging to Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), has approached the Supreme Court against the order of the Kerala High Court refusing to suspend his.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked NCP leader Mohammed Faizal "what is the fundamental right that is violated?" after he filed a plea against the Lok Sabha Secretariat for not withdrawing a notification disqualifying him as an MP.
On January 11, a local court had convicted Mohammed Faizal in an attempt to murder case. On January 25, the Kerala high court suspended the conviction. Despite that, the Lok Sabha Secretariat hasn’t yet withdrawn his disqualification notice.
