The Supreme Court on Thursday vacated its order to maintain status quo in crisis-ridden Arunachal Pradesh, which may pave the way for government formation by rebel Congress MLAs with the support of BJP lawmakers.
Referring to the Gauhati High Court order staying the disqualification of 14 rebel MLAs, a five-judge Constitution Bench headed by Justice J.S. Khehar said, “It does not call for any interference.”
The Bench, which also perused the records summoned from Gauhati High Court pertaining to disqualification of the rebel legislators, said it was “prima facie” satisfied with the High Court order and not inclined to interfere with it.
“Prima facie we are not inclined to interfere with the High Court order, we are satisfied with it. Having seen the original records which are put before us by the Registrar-General of the Gauhati High Court, the order of January 7 calls for no interference at this stage.”
“Accordingly, the ad-interim order passed is vacated,” the Bench also comprising Justices Dipak Misra, M.B. Lokur, P.C. Ghose and N.V. Ramana said.
