New Delhi, Aug. 20 -- The Supreme Court has suspended two members of the legislative council (MLCs) in Telangana.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta said the induction of M Kodandaram and journalist Amer Ali Khan could not be traced to any lawful cabinet recommendation after the court's August 2024 interim order.
The top court clarified that the cabinet is free to make fresh recommendations for the two seats, which the governor should consider in accordance with law. The cabinet may also reconsider the names of either the original nominees, Kumar and Satyanarayana, or Kodandaram and Khan, but only through a fresh process. Any such nomination, the bench maintained, would be subject to the court's decision .
