SHILLONG, Nov 29: The Opposition Congress is poised to move the Meghalaya High Court seeking the disqualification of three former Congress MLAs after Assembly Speaker Thomas A Sangma decided to stick to his earlier decision of considering their merger with the NPP a valid move.
“We are preparing the petition and within a few days we will file it. Our team has gone to New Delhi to meet the legal experts who are very conversant with the anti-defection law,” lone Congress MLA Ronnie V Lyngdoh said on Friday.
Lyngdoh had submitted two petitions to the Assembly Speaker seeking disqualification of former party MLAs, Celestine Lyngdoh, Charles Marngar, and Gabriel Wahlang under Paragraph 2(1)(a) of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution.
