The Karnataka High Court will today pronounce its order on the five independent MLAs disqualification case. In their writ petition, the five Independent MLAs had challenged Assembly Speaker K G Bopaiah's order that disqualified them under the Anti-Defection Law. A full bench, comprising Justices A S Bopanna, Mohan Shantanagoudar and S Abdul Nazeer, had on February 1 reserved its orders after concluding hearing from both the parties. The disqualified MLAs, P M Narendraswamy, Venkataramanappa, Gulihatti Sekhar, D Sudhakara and Shivaraj Tangadagi were disqualified by Speaker in October last year. They were disqualified a day before Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa sought and won the vote of confidence. The five legislators, along with 11 BJP rebel MLAs, had earlier withdrawn support to the Yeddyurappa government by submitting a letter to Governor H R Bhardwaj. The MLAs contested the disqualification order on the ground that they were not BJP members and remained independents. But the ruling BJP had maintained that they had joined BJP and attended its legislature party meetings and hence were part and parcel of the party.
