New Delhi:
The Supreme Court, while hearing the petition filed by BJP leaders for an immediate floor test, refused to accept the proposal for producing 16 rebel MLAs in judges' chamber. The court further said that the rebel MLAs may or may not go to the Assembly but they cannot be held captive.
"It is their choice whether they want to enter, comply with whips etc. But certainly, when an allegation is that they are being held in captivity, we have to see they are at free will," Justice DY Chandrachud said.
The also said it is not going to interfere in deciding who enjoys the trust but it will ensure that there is a free exercise of choice which these 16 MLAs can make.
The hearing has been deferred for tomorrow at 10.30 am.
