Agriculturist moves Madras High Court, terms May 10 notification of Union Home Ministry illegal
A public interest litigation petition has been filed in the Madras High Court to declare as illegal a notification issued by the Union Home Ministry on May 10 nominating three MLAs to the Puducherry Legislative Assembly. G.A. Jagaannathan, an agriculturist from Puducherry, has filed the case on the ground that the credentials of all three individuals nominated by the Centre were questionable and that the nominated MLAs should be men of eminence. The petitioner said that the Puducherry Assembly is constituted with 30 elected MLAs and three nominated MLAs. In the recently held elections, All India NR Congress emerged as the single largest party with 10 MLAs followed by BJP with six MLAs.More Related News
