SC to consider audio clip of CM Yediyurappa in Karnataka MLAs disqualification case

The Supreme Court said today that it would consider the fresh audio clip in which Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa is purportedly referring to 17 rebel Cong-JD(S) MLAs, who had been disqualified.<br />''<br />''A three-Judge Bench headed by Justice N V Ramana said, since the issue has been brought to its notice, the Apex Court would consider it. However, the Bench did not specify whether it would take on record the audio clip.<br />''<br />''The top court said the issue raised, now, was also brought before it during the hearing on the pleas filed by these MLAs challenging the then Speaker's decision to disqualify them. A purported audio clip of Yediyurappa expressing anguish against his party leaders at a recent party meeting in Hubballi over their opposition to giving tickets to the disqualified Congress-JD(S) MLAs for the December 5th Assembly bypolls in 15 constituencies had surfaced last Friday.<br />''<span style="color: #222222;"><br />''Bypolls to 15 out of 17 seats represented by disqualified MLAs will be held on December 5th.</span><br />
