In which case did the Supreme Court emphasize that the Speaker must decide disqualification petitions under Tenth Schedule within a reasonable time, failing which courts may intervene?
- Kihoto Hollohan case (1992)
- Keisham Meghachandra Singh case (2020)
- Nabam Rebia case (2016)

Answer: Keisham Meghachandra Singh case (2020)
Keisham Meghachandra Singh v. Hon'ble Speaker Manipur Legislative Assembly (2020): SC held Speaker must decide Tenth Schedule petitions within reasonable time (suggested 3 months); unreasonable delay undermines law's efficacy.
