Special courts can try ex-MPs & ex-MLAs too, says Delhi HC
The Delhi high court has held that special courts constituted on the Supreme Court's directions to deal with criminal cases against members of Parliament and legislative assemblies can try offences against former MPs and MLAs as well. A single-judge bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma referred to the Supreme Court's order dated August 31, 2020, in which the SC had clarified that the pendency of the case before the apex court "would not come in the way of the expeditious disposal of the case relating to elected representatives, i.e. either sitting or former".
