The Telangana High Court has issued notices to the Speaker of the Assembly and ten MLAs who defected from Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party to the ruling Congress party. The notices were issued in response to a PIL petition filed by Dr. K.A. Paul of Prajashanthi Party. The petitioner has requested the court to disqualify the MLAs and prevent the commercialization of elected representatives. However, the court rejected the petitioner's request to restrain the MLAs from attending assembly sessions and exercising their right to vote.
