Kuldeep Bishnoi Appellant
V/S
SPEAKER Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) I. The subject of challenge

(2.) Five separate petitions were filed under Section 191 read with Tenth Schedule of the Constitution and the rules framed against respondent Nos.3 to 7 praying for the disqualification of abovesaid respondents as members of Haryana Legislative Assembly. Nine other petitions were also filed by non-Congress members seeking for similar disqualification against respondent Nos.3 to 7. The petitions which had been numbered as petitions No.1 to 14 were clubbed together and the impugned order was passed on 13.01.2013.

(3.) The petitioner's applications before the Speaker under Paragraph 6 had been filed on 09.12.2009 and it would be worthwhile to recapitulate the facts in brief that led up to the passing of the impugned order. The impugned order itself came through a judicial intervention from the Supreme Court after going through the initial judicial process through directions of a Single Bench as modified by the Division Bench of this court. The Supreme Court set a definite date for disposal that would explain the previous litigative journey for this case.
