💨 Abstract

Goa assembly Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar dismissed a petition seeking to disqualify eight Congress MLAs who joined the BJP in 2022. The Speaker noted that disqualification is not applicable if two-thirds of the legislators agree to a merger. The petitioner, Dominic Joao Noronha, had claimed that the MLAs' act to join the BJP amounted to defection.
