He noted that the MLA had already been under suspension.
The move came shortly after a local court dismissed Mamkootathil's anticipatory bail plea in the sexual assault case.
The Thiruvananthapuram Principal District and Sessions Court rejected the petition after hearing arguments from both sides over two days.
