Jaipur: The Rajasthan High Court has reserved its verdict on the petition filed by the Congress rebel MLAs, lead by Sachin Pilot for Friday, July 24.
The Speaker cannot be taking any decision on the notices till then. The time for submitting reply to the notices was otherwise expiring at 5.30 PM, today.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Indrajit Mahanty and Justice Prakash Gupta will deliver the verdict on July 24.
The petition challenged the notices issued by the Speaker to initiate disqualification proceedings.
It was on July 14 that Speaker Dr C P Joshi served the notices on the 19 dissident MLAs, including Pilot, amid their rebellion against Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and asked them to submit their replies by July 17.
Meanwhile, on July 17 the 19 MLAs move court against the action of the Speaker and the Court started hearing on Friday.
While senior advocates Harish Salve and Mukul Rohatgi appeared on behalf of the rebels, Abhishekh Manu Singhvi argued for the Speaker.
