SHILLONG: There is no end to the adjournment of ST status case of Chief Minister Mukul Sangma.
Though the case was supposed to come up for hearing on Friday, it was postponed to March 9 next after the result of the Assembly polls.
During the five year period after filing the petition, the case was adjourned several times.
Tennydard Marak, who is following up the ST status case, said that the chief minister cannot escape the issue as in the long run he will lose the status based on the customary laws and practices of the Garos.
Marak is banking on the theory that Sangma is not a Garo as he was born of a Garo father and non indigenous Muslim mother contrary to the customary practices including matrilineal tradition.
