The single-bench court of Justice T Vaiphei scrutinized the suspension of former Urban Affairs Minister Paul Lyngdoh and Independent MLA Limison Sangma from the Assembly before passing the interim order. A ruling on the other three - former Health Minister Advisor Pariong, Sanbor Shullai and Ismail R Marak - is scheduled on Monday.
Speaker Bindo M Lanong had suspended the five barring them from the trust vote last Tuesday. The NCP-led Meghalaya Progressive Alliance had won the trust vote 28-27 in the 60-member House, but the Congress challenged the floor test and paraded 32 MLAs before Governor RS Mooshahary. The Governor subsequently recommended PR, which was accepted by the Centre.
