The third judge of the Karnataka High Court will pronounce his verdict today on the disqualification of 11 rebel BJP MLAs by Assembly Speaker. Justice V G Sabhahit will decide whether the disqualification of these MLAs by the Speaker K G Boppaiah under Anti-defection Law was legal or not. The hearing of the crucial case by Justice V G Sabhahit as the third Judge was necessitated after a Division Bench comprising of Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice N Kumar delivered a split verdict in this case earlier. The rebel BJP MLAs moved to the Karnataka High Court following their disqualification by the Assembly Speaker under Anti-defection Law after they withdrew their support to Yeddyurappa government in the state.
