Delay in disqualification of Bharatiya Janata Mil Kanwar Lal Meen, whose belief in the 20 -year case was supported by the High Court, disrupted the opposition Congress in Rajasthan. Congress in this matter was looking for an immediate intervention by Governor Haribhau Bagade.
Mr. Meena, elected from Anta Baran District’s Anta, was sentenced to a three -year strict imprisonment in the event of a threat to an official Rajasthan administrative service (races) and a harmful public property in Jhalawar. The court for the meeting condemned the MLA in December 2020, while the High Court confirmed the order of May 1.
Mr. Meena moved the petition of special holiday (SLP) at the Supreme Court, which ordered him to give up in two weeks. Congress claimed that Mr. Meena’s membership at the Assembly was to be immediately abolished after the judgment of the High Court under the Act on the Population of the People’s Act of 1951.
Section 8 (3) of the Act stipulates the disqualification of the legislature after convicting for a crime with a two -year sentence or more. The speaker of the Vasudev Devnani assembly was reportedly looking for the opinion of general lawyers and legal experts in this matter, but his decision is still expected.
Mr. Meena, who must be submitted to the court until 21 May, was not elected to the State Assembly at the time of the crime and had 15 criminal cases against him. In 2016, the crowd led, who allegedly attacked Mazdor Kisan Shakti Sangathan, founded by Magsaysay Award Aruna Roy, during the Jhalawar district.
Double MLA, Mr. Meena first won elections from Jhalawar’s Manohar Thana in 2013 and later from Anta in 2023.
The Congress of the Mile and the leader of the opposition in the Ram Jully Assembly fired a letter to the Governor and accused the speaker of the deliberate delay of the Mr. Meena disqualification process. “Under Article 191 of the Constitution and the provisions of the RP Act, the elected representative was sentenced to more than two years automatically disqualified from the Office,” Jully said.
Jully said that the inactivity of the speaker in the matter was “obvious ignoring the constitutional duty and democratic standards”. He called on the Governor to follow the constitutional mandate and to issue a direction for disqualification of Mr. Meena with effect from 1 May, when the High Court confirmed his beliefs and punishment.
Mr. Jully pointed out that a similar decision was taken in 2016, when the side of Blujan Samaj had a BLU BLU Kushwaha sentenced to life imprisonment in the case of murder. Mr. Kushwaha was disqualified and Dholpur’s secondary elections took place in his constituency. The High Court also rejected his request to allow him to hand over his vote in the elections of Rajya Sabho when he was imprisoned before his belief.
However, the President of the Jhalawar Association of Jhalawar Ram Maleshwari said that the Supreme Court would hear the SLP of Mr. Meena to adopt after giving up. Any decision on Mr. Meena’s membership in the Assembly would be subject to the Supreme Court’s judgment until his petition attacked the judgment of the High Court remains a peak in court, Maleshwari said.
