A Division bench of the Bombay High Court at Goa comprising of Justice Manish Pitale and Justice R.N. Laddha have reserved their verdict on the disqualification petitions filed against those 12 MLAs while observing during the hearing that defections by elected MLAs was a very serious issue.
Babu Kavlekar (Quepem); Babush Monserrate (Panaji); Jennifer Monserrate (Taleigao); Antonio alias Tony Fernandes (St Cruz); Francis Silveira (St Andre); Nilkanth Halarnkar (Tivim); Felipe Nery Rodrigues (Velim); Isidore Fernandes (Canacona); Wilfred alias Babashan D'Sa (Nuvem) and Clafasio Dias (Cuncolim) besides former MGP MLAs Babu Ajgaonkar (Pernem) and Deepak Pauskar (Sanvordem) are also under the scanner of the High Court for having blatantly breached the Anti- Defection law. . If these 12 former MLAs are in accordance with the Anti-Defection law disqualified, it would lead to unnecessary by-elections next month in these twelve constituencies which would needlessly further burden our already bankrupt Goa exchequer. It would be therefore prudent that on 14th February no one votes for these 12 MLAs, who had selfishly for the sake of Money and Moolah sold their souls not thinking about their Goa. Adv.
