On May 17, 2024, the High Court had issued notice to Chief Minister, but due to non-receipt of information about service of notice, the court once again issued fresh notice to him.

Justice Rakesh Kainthla passed this order on two different cases filed by both the former MLAs. While issuing notices, the court also directed the petitioners to take necessary steps for the service of notice within one week.
