The speaker argued that the High Court cannot prevent him from taking disqualification proceedings. The Supreme Court said that voices of disagreement cannot be suppressed in a democracy. “Dissident MLAs are also elected representatives of the public. Can they not express disagreement? This is how democracy will end. A detailed hearing on the issue is needed,” Justice Arun Mishra said. The Supreme Court has fixed the next hearing on 27 July.
