Bengal assembly Speaker rejects plea to disqualify Mukul Roy as MLA

June 08, 2022 19:08

West Bengal assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee on Wednesday rejected a plea by Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari to disqualify BJP legislator Mukul Roy, saying that he did not find merit in the argument of the petitioner.

Banerjee maintained his previous decision on the matter.

The Calcutta high court on April 11 set aside the Speaker's earlier order dismissing a petition by Adhikari which sought disqualification of Roy as a member of the House on the ground of defection and restored the matter for fresh consideration. -- PTI
