The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed two Independent MLAs from Karnataka to withdraw their plea seeking a direction to state assembly Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar to conduct “forthwith” floor test on a trust motion moved by the H D Kumaraswamy government.
Karnataka Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar on Thursday sought a detailed report from Home Minister M B Patil on rebel Congress MLA Shrimant Patil, who was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai after he complained of chest pain on Wednesday.
In a major relief to the shaky Congress-JDS coalition, the Supreme Court on Wednesday held that Karnataka Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar cannot be forced to take a decision within a time frame on the resignations of the rebel MLAs.
As his government teetered on the brink, Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy Friday announced that he would seek a trust vote and sought time from Assembly Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar.
