MLAs’ disqualification case: SC resumes hearing

October 25, 2019

New Delhi: The Supreme Court this morning resumed the hearing on the petitions filed by disqualified Karnataka MLAs, who have questioned their ouster by former Assembly Speaker K.R. Ramesh Kumar.

Soon after the hearing began, Senior Counsel Kapil Sibal, who appeared for the then Assembly Speaker, presented a strong case defending the disqualification of the legislators, arguing that they had grossly violated the House rules while quitting their Assembly seats. Senior advocate Devadutt Kamat is representing the Congress party while another Senior Counsel Rajiv Dhavan is arguing on behalf of the JD(S) Party, of which three legislators were disqualified.

Yesterday, a three-member SC Bench presided over by Justice N.V. Ramana had adjourned the hearing for today after the current Karnataka Assembly Speaker told the Court that he was ready to reconsider the matter related to the resignation and disqualification of 17 MLAs.
