NCP Lakshadweep MP Mohammed Faizal was disqualified from the Lok Sabha on October 4 after the Kerala High Court rejected his plea to suspend his conviction in a murder attempt case.
This is the second time Faizal has been disqualified from the Parliament.
He was earlier disqualified in January after a sessions court convicted and sentenced him and three others to 10 years' jail on charges of attempting to kill Mohammed Salih, son-in-law of the late Union Minister PM Sayeed during the 2009 Lok Sabha elections.
Faizal's previous disqualification was revoked on March 29, months after the Kerala high court suspended his conviction and sentencing in the case.
However, in August 2023, the Supreme Court set aside the high court order.
