On Wednesday, the Supreme Court also rejected the petition of Chauhan to produce the 16 rebel Congress MLAs in the court on March 19. The top court said that it wanted to “allay the apprehension” that they are held captive. Observing that the MLAs may or may not go to the Assembly but they cannot be held captive, a Bench comprising Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and Hemant Gupta said it was not going to come in the way of the legislature to decide as to who enjoys the trust but has to ensure that there is a free exercise of choice which these 16 MLAs can make.
