Karnataka MLA Disqualification case: Supreme Court to pronounce judgement on Wednesday
- The Supreme Court will pronounce its judgment in the plea filed by the 17 disqualified MLAs from Karnataka challenging their disqualification from the Karnataka Assembly on November 13, Wednesday.
- The judgment will be rendered by a three-judge bench comprising Justices NV Ramana, Sanjiv Khanna, and Krishna Murari. The Court had reserved orders in the case on October 25.
- In July this year, petitions were filed by 17 ex-MLAs of Karnataka challenging their disqualification by the previous Speaker of the Assembly.
- The resignation of the 17 MLAs from the Congress and JD(S) parties eventually brought down the HD Kumaraswamy-led regime in Karnataka in July this year.
- They were thereafter disqualified on grounds of defection by former Speaker, KR Ramesh. The Supreme Court issued notice in the petitions in September this year.
