The decision on termination of membership of four JD(U) dissidents for 'anti-party activities' was today deferred by two days after the rebels met the Speaker and sought time till the end of coming monsoon session of the Assembly to reply to the notice.
Speaker Udai Narayan Choudhary called the four again on Friday when he would convey his decision on their plea.
Gyanendra Singh Gyanu, who has emerged as leader of the dissidents group and among four served show cause, told reporters that they sought time till the end of coming monsoon session of the Assembly to reply as they would be busy during the session.
He said "The Speaker called us on Friday when he would give his decision on our plea for time."
The monsoon session of Assembly starting on June 27 would last till July 31.
In addition to Gyanu, three others, Ravindra Rai, Neeraj Singh Babloo and Rahul Kumar, met the Speaker and put forward the same plea of more time to reply.
Three other MLAs, Poonam Devi, Ajit Kumar and Raju Kumar Singh, accompanied the four to the Assembly.
Ravindra Rai told reporters that he got the notice only on June 23 and there was little time for preparing the reply after consulting constitutional experts.
