Supreme Court Hearing On Rajasthan Today And A Congress Dilemma

In a crucial day in court for the Rajasthan Congress crisis, the Supreme Court will again take up a petition that raises questions on the Speaker's constitutional powers to start disqualification proceedings against rebel MLAs for not attending party meetings. Speaker CP Joshi had requested the Supreme Court last week to stop the High Court from deciding on a petition by Sachin Pilot and 18 other Congress rebels challenging disqualification notices. A section of the Congress favours dropping the case and pursuing a political solution, say sources. Even before any court decision on the status of rebels challenging his rule, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has sought an assembly session from July 31 (Friday).
