      Singhvi : And the Shivraj Singh Chauhan decision applies only if there is no fetter on the Speaker. Floor test and disqualification are undoubtedly related after your lordships have put a fetter on the Speaker.

      Singhvi : Please look at the real world. A Floor Test done tomorrow, followed by a disqualification to be proceeded by the Speaker, is irreversible. We cannot live in a theoratical world. It is irreversible.

      Singhvhi : Governors are not angles. They are humans. It is why we have Bommai decision. Governor does not address the issue of sub judice. He does not verify. He does not call the CM for his view. I am not saying he is bound. But he does not call.

      Singhvi : Has Governor attempted to verify? Two days before he comes to Raj Bhavan, meets the leader of opposition yesterday and issues the order today. But the Speaker is to be always a suspect!

    • 29 Jun 2022 2:45 PM GMT

      Singhvi : Does the Governor have a single sentence in the order that the issue is sub judice before the Supreme Court and despite that I am exercising? No. No consideration of relevant aspect.

    • 29 Jun 2022 2:44 PM GMT

      Singhvi : This is a Governor who has not allowed nominations to MLC for one year.

      Singhvi : Those who believe that the Speaker is only political and Governor can never be political, I tell them, wake up and smell the coffee, don't live in ivory towers.

    • 29 Jun 2022 2:43 PM GMT

      Singhvi : It is repeatedly argued that the Speaker is always suspect but the Governor is a holy cow. That Governor can never be wrong, but the Speaker, the persona designate under 10th schedule is political.

    • 29 Jun 2022 2:42 PM GMT

      Singhvi : The questions that we raised that was that motion for removal of Speaker under Ar 179 can be moved only when assembly is in session. The second thing, 179 uses "removal". So there has to be a charge against Speaker. No single charge is mentioned in that letter.

    • 29 Jun 2022 2:41 PM GMT

      Singhvi : Nabam Rebia is decided that in that case Speaker cannot decide. If Nabam Rabia allows, their writ stands allowed on first day. Nabam specifically notes at para 167 that it is not a case of Floor Test, yet it is cited again and again in a floor test case.
