SPEAKER HARYANA VIDHAN SABHA vs KULDEEP BISHNOI .

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of the High Court under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution regarding interim directions to a Member of the Legislative Assembly facing disqualification under Article 191 and the Tenth Schedule. The Court held that the High Court cannot issue mandatory directions to the Speaker to decide disqualification petitions within a specified time, nor can it interfere with disqualification proceedings pending before the Speaker. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to prevent the five MLAs from functioning until the disqualification petitions were resolved.
