New Delhi, Jan 16, 2007. The Supreme Court today declilned to pass
an interim order for the 37 breakaway BSP MLAs for the forthcoming
session of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly called on January 18.
Though the MLAs have been permitted to act as a separate
independent group under the banner of Bahujan Loktantrik Dal (BLD),
they wanted clarification from the court about their political
status during the session.
They also sought to know whether they will be permitted to caste
their votes as Chief Minister Mulayam Singh has to prove his
majority on the floor of the House.
