Special courts can try ex-MPs & ex-MLAs too, says Delhi HC
Tuesday, 9 January 2024 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".

The National People’s Party (NPP), led by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, has withdrawn its support to the BJP-led government in Manipur, citing the failure of Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s administration in handling the escalating unrest in the state. The NPP’s decision, which involves its seven MLAs in the state legislature, highlights the growing dissatisfaction with the handling of ethnic violence and protests that have been intensifying since May 2023. Despite this move, the BJP’s hold on the government remains largely unaffected due to its strong majority. This development marks a critical moment in Manipur’s volatile political and security landscape, with the NPP accusing the Singh-led government of incompetence in managing the ongoing crisis.
