MOSCOW, October 20 (RAPSI, Oleg Sivozhelezov) – Russia’s Supreme Court has postponed review of legal debate surrounding preliminary termination of the State Duma lawmaker’s status for Ilya Ponomaryov until November 24, RAPSI learned in the courtroom on Thursday.

Ponomaryov has filed an administrative lawsuit with the Supreme Court against the State Duma’s ruling on preliminary termination of his MP status.

Representatives of the State Duma have not showed up for the hearing and the court ruled to postpone it until later date.

Earlier, the lower house’s official website has published a report over a meeting that happened on June 10 that resulted in preliminary termination of Ponomaryov’s status. Ex-lawmaker’s absence during the parliamentary hearings was announced as a reason for such termination.
