Kerala High Court Issues Notice to Pala MLA Mani C. Kappan on Disqualification Plea

The Kerala High Court has served notice on Mani C. Kappan, the Member of Legislative Assembly representing the Pala constituency, in connection with a petition that seeks to disqualify him from holding his elected position. The notice was issued following the filing of the petition in court, which raises questions about Kappan's eligibility to continue as an MLA. The specific grounds for the disqualification petition were not detailed in the court's interim order. The high court has scheduled the next hearing on the matter for September 22, when arguments from both the petitioner and the respondent are expected to be heard. Until then, Kappan continues to discharge his duties as the elected representative from Pala. The development comes as part of ongoing legal proceedings related to the eligibility and conduct of elected representatives in Kerala.
