NPCSC's interpretation

...

if not for the NPCSC's interpretation, two possibilities of the court ruling: (a) the LegCo President was wrong to give the duo a second chance; or (b) the President should have the prerogative to decide and it's not for the court to meddle in LegCo's affairs ...

for (a) it would be a heavy blow on the President's reputation and i don't think the court would like to do that; and for (b) it would be against the mainstream view if the duo would be given another chance. 

in short,  it's kind of a constitutional dilemma, just like three siblings embroiled in a fight with inevitable damage one way or another, and so NPCSC stepped in to save the day.
