The Supreme Court has postponed the hearing on Mahua Moitra's expulsion plea, alleging cash-for-query charges, till January 3. The Trinamool Congress leader, expelled from Lok Sabha on December 8, defends herself, citing "substantial illegality" and "arbitrariness" by the ethics committee. Moitra, elected from Krishnanagar, accuses the committee of unethical conduct. The court session, led by Justice Sanjiv Khanna, took place on the last working day before the winter break. The controversy arose from allegations of sharing login details and receiving gifts and cash from businessman Darshan Hiranandani, with the CBI filing a preliminary FIR.
