										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Suvendu Adhikari, the Bengal assembly&#8217;s leader of the opposition, filed a writ petition in the Calcutta high court on Monday seeking Mukul Roy&#8217;s disqualification as an MLA under the anti-defection statute.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Adhikari requested that the HC issue an interim directive to Speaker Biman Banerjee, requesting that he decide on the subject within a week. On June 11, Roy, a BJP MLA from Krishnanagar North, joined Trinamool. He said “It has been over three months that Mukul Roy defected to TMC. The speaker is not taking note of the defection yet and not disqualifying him as MLA.”</p>
