Reportedly the supreme court said that the rajya sabha Speaker should also consider the apology of the AAP MLAs sympathetically and try to find a way forward. The supreme court on friday advised rajya sabha mp Raghav Chadha to meet rajya sabha Chairman and Vice President jagdeep Dhankar and tender an unconditional apology regarding the Select Committee controversy. The court said the rajya sabha Speaker should also consider the apology of the aam aadmi party rajya sabha mp sympathetically and try to find a way forward. ANI reported that the lawyer representing Raghav Chadha told the court that the mp had no intention of tarnishing the dignity of the house of which he is a member and that he would seek an appointment with the rajya sabha Speaker to tender an unconditional apology. The court will now hear the petition after the diwali vacation.


Earlier on august 11, Chadha was suspended from the rajya sabha on charges of violation of privilege during the Monsoon Session of Parliament. Raghav Chadha showed in the house that five members of the rajya sabha had signed an agreement to refer the government of National capital Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 to a select committee. However, five members of the rajya sabha, Raghav Chadha, did not seek our consent on this matter. We have not signed it. After this, the bjp had criticized it as a violation of special rights. The bill, introduced by the central government, will give the center more powers than the official government in certain services in the national capital.


The Privileges Committee was referred to the Privileges Committee on a complaint by five MPs alleging violation of special HQU and Raghav Chadha was suspended till the committee submits its final report. On october 30, the supreme court, while hearing a petition filed by Chadha challenging his indefinite suspension, had said that the indefinite suspension of members of Parliament, especially those from the opposition, was a matter of "serious concern" for the Constitutional Court.
