New Delhi:
Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra's challenge against her expulsion from Parliament will be heard by the Supreme Court tomorrow.
A bench of the Supreme Court comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SV Bhatti will hear Ms Moitra's request to have her Lok Sabha membership reinstated.
Ms Moitra has accused the parliamentary ethics committee, which investigated the allegations against her and recommended her expulsion, of “breaking every rule”.
The ethics committee submitted the report to Parliament on December 8 after weeks of cross-examining all people involved in the case, including the complainant's lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai and BJP leader Nishikant Dubey.
Ms Moitra has claimed the commission “broke every rule” in the way it handled the case.
The Trinamool Congress leader has called Mr Dehadrai, who has filed the complaint with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), her “thrown ex”.
Following the complaint, Mr Dubey had led the call to probe the allegation that Ms Moitra had given her Parliament login ID to businessman Darshan Hiranandani to attack the Adani group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
