Ranchi: The Jharkhand high court on Thursday stayed further proceedings initiated suo motu by Speaker Ravindranath Mahto against former JVM-P chief Babulal Marandi for his alleged defection to BJP. The court has fixed January 13, 2021, as the next date of hearing.
Marandi challenged the Speaker’s notice issued to him on November 2. The Speaker had on his own taken cognizance of Marandi “joining” BJP and issued a notice for defection under the Jharkhand Vidhan Sabha Sadasya (Dal Parivartan ke Aadhar par Nirharta) Rules, 2006 (3rd Edition, 2019). The vires of the rules have also been challenged by Marandi. Advocate general Rajiv Ranjan represented the Speaker and the government during the hearing.
