Justice KC Bhanu of the High Court on Friday admitted a petition filed by Konda Muralidhar Rao (Konda Murali) of the Congress challenging his disqualification from the membership of the Legislative Council for alleged anti-party activities.

The judge directed the government pleader for law and legislative affairs to get instructions on the issue, and adjourned the matter for further hearing to August 27.

Murali requested the court to suspend the operation of the order passed by Council chairman A Chakrapani on July 30. He said the chairman had acted in bias as he had only dealt with his case but not that of another Congress MLC, Pulla Padmavathi. Moreover, the chairman acted as per the directions of the whip and disqualified him without hearing his version. He said the Congress did not issue any whip or ask its members not to attend programmes organised by Kadapa MP and YSR Congress leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
