Speaker Haryana Vidhan Sabha vs Kuldeep Bishnoi & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of the High Court under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution regarding interim directions to a Speaker on disqualification petitions under Article 191 and the Tenth Schedule. The Court held that the High Court cannot issue mandatory directions to the Speaker to dispose of disqualification petitions within a specified time, nor can it interfere with disqualification proceedings pending before the Speaker. The Court emphasized the separation of powers and the constitutional authority of the Speaker, ultimately ruling that the High Court's interim directions were beyond its jurisdiction.
