Mahua Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha in the cash-for-query case

NEW DELHI, Dec 14: Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra's challenge to her expulsion from parliament will be heard by the Supreme Court tomorrow. A Supreme Court bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SV Bhatti will hear Ms Moitra's request to restore her Lok Sabha membership. Ms Moitra has accused the parliamentary ethics committee that looked into cash-for-query allegations against her and recommended her expulsion of "breaking every rule". The ethics committee submitted the report in parliament on December 8 after weeks of cross-examining all the people involved in the matter, including the complainant's lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai and BJP leader Nishikant Dubey.
