MP Floor Test Hearing [Day-2] Live-Updates From Supreme Court

The brother of Manoj Chaudhary has also filed a petition, they haven’t disclosed this. This is forum shopping. The court passed an order on 18.03.2020 that they be given liberty to approach the High Court. They are trying everything possible to delay this : Rohatgi

“One more aspect I’d like to bring to the fore - they are abusing the process.” Rohatgi contends

Mr. Sibal tried to create a prejudice by bringing to the fore, the argument of VIDP to Bangalore. I am sorry that the senior counsel is being misled by whosoever is briefing him - Rohatgi. 

"Everyday is important, invitation to horse-trading. Every minute that this (Kamal nath’s) government is there is unconstitutional!" Rohatgi asserts.

You still need 5 more, currently you have 107. Suppose these 16 members’ resignation are not accepted, they incur a disqualification: Justice Chandrachud

They say they want 10 days because they are asserting the issue of resignation which is completely irrelevant in this case, Rohatgi says. 

Can it be said rhat the tentative conclusion, made by the Governor is absurd? : Rohatgi

What is all this eloquence about chartered planes? Mr. Sibal going on about it for no reason. Lets not forget, they have taken their own people in a chartered plane to Rajhasthan (SK Bommai case) : Rohatgi.

Constitution does not say that I need to appear before the Speaker! Why does he want two weeks? Rohatgi asks. 

"The truth is, regardless of the acceptance of resignations, these people do not want to join the flock! Rohatgi contends", Sibal submits.

“Think they want to now indulge in horse trading” Rohatgi asserts

Sibal interjects “Well, you have traded the entire stable!”
