Sharad A Bobde

Non-judgmental verdicts

The latest case in point is how the Chief Justice of India Sharad A Bobde disposed of DMK’s appeal against Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker P Dhanapal’s failure to disqualify 11 AIADMK MLAs who disobeyed the party whip and voted against Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswamy in a motion of confidence on 18 February 2017, with the words, “Needless to mention the Speaker had to take a decision in accordance with the law,” without stipulating a period within which the Speaker should decide.
