Blaming the COVID 19 situation in the State, the Speaker of Goa Legislative Assembly has urged the Supreme Court to adjourn the hearing in disqualification of 10 MLAs who crossed over to BJP.
The petition has been filed by GPCC president Girish Chodankar.
The Speaker urged the court to adjourn the petition by two weeks since he is in the process of filing an additional affidavit to bring on record certain further information and documents which would have a bearing on the present dispute.
Justifying the request of adjournment, Speaker said “it could not be done on account of Covid-19 situation. One of the MLAs facing disqualification also filed for adjournment for four weeks as he is yet to be discharged from hospital after testing positive.
