The Allahabad High Court has reinstated Abbas Ansari as the SBSP MLA for Mau Sadar, disrupting proceedings by granting a stay on his two-year sentence from a 2022 hate speech case.
Assembly Chief Secretary Pradeep Kumar Dubey issued a notification confirming the reversal of a previous order that had ended Ansari's membership, labeling the order void following the court's recent ruling.
Ansari's reinstatement alleviates political uncertainty surrounding the Mau Assembly bypoll, which was initiated as a result of his earlier conviction by an MP MLA court. His conviction for a hate speech delivered on March 3, 2022, in Paharpur had led to the vacancy of his seat.
