Jailed MPs can take part in trust vote

Special Correspondent

PATNA: The UPA government had reasons to cheer on Wednesday as two MPs belonging to the coalition, now in jail, will be in a position to vote on the motion of confidence to be moved by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on July 22.

The Division Bench of Justices S.K. Singh and A. Sinha of the Patna High Court allowed RJD MP Md. Shahabuddin to attend the special session of the Lok Sabha on July 21 and 22.

The Bench ordered that the MP be taken from the Siwan Jail to New Delhi on July 20 and brought back on July 23. He would have to bear the cost of his travel and that of the escorting police party.

The same Bench granted bail to Lok Jan Shakti Party MP Suraj Bhan Singh in the Rami Singh murder case. He is likely to be released from the Central Jail, Beur, on Thursday after completion of formalities. A Begusarai court on June 25 had held him guilty of killing Rami Singh, a farmer, in 1992 and sentenced him to life imprisonment along with two others.
