The Supreme Court on Monday, 16 November refused to pass any order or direction to the Union of India to declare as null & void the elections of Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and Members of Parliament (MPs) charge-sheeted for more than a year for offences punishable for five or more years of imprisonment.
Justice L Nageswara Rao said while refusing to pass the order, “These are legislative issues, within the exclusive domain of Parliament; we do not want to pass any order on these issues.”
SN Shukla, a retired Civil servant filed the plea.
