Jaipur (Rajasthan), July 22 (ANI): Rajasthan Assembly Speaker CP Joshi on July 22 said that he has filed Special Leave Petition in Supreme Court to avoid contradiction between decisions of Speaker and court. “In 1992, a Constitution bench ruled that the Speaker has the power regarding disqualification. Chief whip of Congress party filed a petition before me and I issued showcause notices to MLAs concerned. After that, the matter was taken to court,” said CP Joshi to ANI. “My effort was to respect court's order that's why I extended hearing for July 21 when court asked. Since the matter is in court, the Speaker can't proceed further. I've filed Special Leave Petition in Supreme Court to avoid contradiction between decisions of Speaker and court,” CP Joshi added. Meanwhile, sacked deputy Sachin Pilot filed a caveat before Supreme Court to ensure that no orders are passed on Rajasthan Speaker CP Joshi's petition without hearing Pilot and his supporting MLAs.
