Goa Congress President moves Supreme court against Bombay High Court verdict dismissing plea to disqualify turncoat MLAs

The appeal stated that due to the High Court order, the following anomalous situations would arise:

(i) The more prominent original political party would be at the mercy of the whimsical musings of the majority members of a less conspicuous legislature party;

(ii) The members of a legislature party set up the original political party would hold the fountainhead of their own authority at ransom as they would wield the sword of unilateral merger at their beck and call; and

(iii) Political parties, without having contested elections, would be empowered to acquire 2/3^rd members of the House of legislature parties and, therefore, become a part of the House without having the mandate of the electorate that it is representing.
