SC dismisses Danam Nagender's plea against disqualification
India’s Supreme Court rejected a petition filed by former Telangana minister Danam Nagender seeking to overturn his recent disqualification from the state assembly. The court found no merit in his arguments, upholding the decision that he violated anti-defection rules. Nagender’s appeal, which questioned the procedural aspects of the disqualification, was therefore dismissed. The ruling reaffirms the assembly speaker’s authority to enforce the anti-defection law.
