Kochi: The Kerala High Court Monday revoked the Kerala Assembly Speaker’s order disqualifying former Govt Chief Whip P.C George as a member of the state Assembly.
The court also observed the Speaker could have heard George’s version before initiating action against him.
George was disqualified by the Speaker under anti-defection law on the basis of a petition filed by KC-M leader and government chief whip Thomas Unniyadan, seeking his disqualification for alleged anti-party activities.
He had approached the Kerala High Court challenging the proceedings initiated by Assembly Speaker N Shakthan to disqualify him.
