Imphal, September 26 2016:
Altogether six disqualification cases including those of MLAs Dr I Ibohalbi and Th Shyamkumar were closed today.
The State Assembly issued separate bulletins to this effect today.
Out of the six disqualification cases, one was filed by former MP Kim Gangte against MLA Dr I Ibohalbi.
One was filed by MLA Kh Joykishan against MLA Th Shyamkumar, one by MLA Th Bishwajit against Th Shyamkumar, one by MLA O Lukhoi against Th Shyamkumar, the fifth one was filed by MLA K Sarat against Th Shyamkumar and the last one was filed by former MP Kim Gangte against Th Shyamkumar.
After holding the final hearing of the six disqualification cases filed against MLA Th Shyamkumar and MLA Dr I Ibohalbi, the Assembly Tribunal today dismissed the case filed by Kim Gangte against Dr Ibohalbi citing that it lacked 'merit' .
The three disqualification cases filed by Joykishan, Bishwajit and Lukhoi against Th Shyamkumar were also dismissed citing the same reason.
While the disqualification case filed by K Sarat was dismissed citing that it was not pursued any further, the one filed by Kim Gangte against Shyamkumar was also dismissed citing lack of evidence.
Notably, Kim Gangte filed a disqualification case against Dr Ibohalbi after the MLA addressed a flag hoisting ceremony of JD-U candidate Lien Gangte during the Lok Sabha election held in 2014 .
