The Manipur Speaker has reserved his decision on the T Shyamkumar disqualification case till February 12.

The case of T Shyamkumar was heard by the Speaker of Manipur Assembly – Y Khemchand Singh on Tuesday, following the Supreme Court’s ruling that directed the speaker tribunal to give a decision on the disqualification case of T Shyamkumar within a period of 4 weeks.
