BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay mentioned that the plea stated that a legislator after being convicted cannot continue in office. Justice CT Ravikumar said that did he mention this before the mentioning registrar. Else they have to spend 40 mins only on such cases,
Upadhyay replied to this and said that the Maharashtra cabinet minister is in judicial custody for 4 months and the health minister of Delhi has been in custody for 30 days. He further said that this is a serious violation of Article 14.
